Hi Mrs. Emma
My Dad called to tell me about Mr. Emma's obituary. I remember you and '3 Guys' very fondly. He was THE most rolicking belly-laugh generator from the Fire Dept. I always felt like 'family' whenever I babysat your girls.
My thoughts & prayers are with you and the girls.
and i'm trying to a muffled a merry chuckle, remembering good times. He was SUCH a good guy. Definitely a hero from my childhood.

Sorry for your loss, Ray & I worked together at Chase-Pitkin and I had the honor of training him in the paint department. Once you got to know Ray you could appreciate his big heart and wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by all.

Judy, my deepest sympathy to you and the girls, the rest of your family and to the volunteer fire service who will miss Ray and all that he stood for. He has now gone to that great firehouse in the sky and probably joining some committee run by the Supreme Chief.
