Explanation:
The chosen sentence is the best to reflect the writer's voice because it keeps a similar tone and the same past tense. While the other choices are in the present tense, only this one keeps the past tense in which the writer refers to uncle Ray. Furthermore, it keeps the same rather formal and eloquent tone, as if the writer was an adult talking about childhood memories.
