Dear Anna and family, I'm so sorry to hear about Rays passing. I'll miss seeing him and working with him at McDonalds. He was a real great guy and was fun to work with. I wish I got to know him a little better but feel lucky to have met him.

I remember Mr. Whiting from Magee Park. He seemed like he was always there. He earned the respect of my family, as well as the entire community, by coaching. Just taking the time to teach the children. And that was a great thing. The world would be a better place with more people like him. My condolences to the entire family.

Dear Uncle Ray, I miss you very much. Just a few weeks ago you were showing me the pond you made with the fish. You always had a beautiful garden and beautiful roses. I remember when I used to eat the blackberries from your tree 'Yummy'. You also introduced me to songs from listening to the oldies and I especially liked the song Rockin Robin! I also enjoyed going to Vermont in the fall with you, aunt anna and Grandma!! That was always the best! I love you and I miss you. And have many fond memories of you. God Bless you and RIP. Can you also send my love to Grandma, My Mom & Dad and brother David, Thanks! Love Dawn

Raeann and family: I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I don't recall if I ever met him, maybe once when we were in school, I was only at your house once or twice. I know this is a difficult time for all of you, but god will help guide you through it. Please tell mom I'm sorry for her loss as well. I always look for her smile and friendly greeting at the drive thru. If I can do anything for you please let me know. Your friend and co-worker

Dad - I have to many memories to even begin to list! I never ever thought this day would come- especially now when your so young and still had so many more places to see and do. You have ALWAYS been there for mom and all of us kids! Especially me the baby of the family who gave you all of your headaches. I know this time of year is your favorite most of all. I guess god knew this too and called for you during this time. We will carry on yours and grandma's legacy during the Holiday Seasons. You will always be with us in our everyday thoughts! Rest in peace and say Hi to everybody for us- especially Grandma & Jim who passed this year to. We will all meet again someday...until then remember how much you are loved and will be missed.

We send all our love and support to Anna, Raeann, Pernell, Tracy and their families, may time and god's love heal all our wounds.

I know I am just the kid from down the street that you could never get rid of. Not that you wanted to. I was at your house every day to play with your kids. I have so many fond memories of you. Thanks so much for teaching me how to play softball so well. You spent so much time in the bowling alley showing us all of the tricks. You took us camping. You played so many card games with us. Thanks again. May you rest in peace.
