Ray and William AKA “Bill”, first met in the third grade in their hometown of Inglewood, California, and their friendship was instantaneous. Ray’s favorite childhood memory was the idyllic camping trips his family would take him and Bill on to Wrightwood Mountain.
The boys spent summers exploring the surrounding area and swimming in the lake. The duo were inseparable, and remained best friends all throughout their teen years, despite attending different high schools.

Through the month of June, many of our communities have been celebrating Pride, a time in which we celebrate love in all its forms.
Pride Month, and events like gay pride parades have been held since 1970, which marked the first pride event. This first demonstration was held as a memorial to the one year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Pride is a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. It is a time to look back on all the hard-fought progress that has been made for LGBTQIA rights and freedoms, as well as reflect on what changes may still be needed.
What can be better than the unbreakable bond of friendship? Throughout our lives, our friends and peers are there to share with us, lend a hand, offer an ear or advice, or simply spend time together enjoying our favorite activities. June 8th is National Best Friends Day and we want to share some of the stories of best friends in our Pacifica communities.
It can sometimes be difficult to make new friends as we age, but Senior Living communities offer a place where older adults can bond and enjoy activities together. We love seeing the many friendships and life long bonds that form between our residents.
At Pacifica Senior Living, our number one priority is making each resident feel comfortable, welcome, and loved. Today we celebrate National Honor Our LGBTQ Elder's Day, a day that celebrates the trailblazers, social activists, and brave individuals that fought for visibility, respect, and equality. Without the LGBTQ community elders, younger generations would not be able to experience the freedoms and rights they have today.
