His life been hard after that but still joke around ,I will miss him so but at the same time be happy that he could be with his passing family ,Dad give Mom,Jr,a hug for us untill we meet again.Moms waited along time to hear u play guitar an sing to her again....TO ALL MY RELATIONS.

I used to tag along on sunday's with my dad when we went fishing with my uncles. i remember almost everytime we went, we stopped at some corner store to grab worms, a pack of weenies, bread and shasta cola. He would take "blue" and on some sundays we would listen to the beatles. Other times it was Chente. i will always have memories like these to be able to share with my girls. I love my dad and hope that we can meet again one day.

Our condolence to the Gutierrez family.I first met Ray on the CB radio ,His handle was Arrowhead and I went by Amigo Topper.We became close friends.He was the type of guy that would give you the shirt of his back and do anything for you.I didn't know he was having health problems till i ran into him at the rest home. I didn't know he was in Korea.He never did say. When we were there they called it a police action not a war.Ray will be missed by all that new him

Tio Raymond was a wonderful person. Himself and Tia Mary and all us kids seems like we grow up all as their kids. The late Luis (Compa) Navarro and Family will remember him and that blue truck and Steve's Market.(that meant candy time). Our thoughts and prayers are with are cousins in the great lost. Take Care Love you all.
