Ray and I were the only siblings left from a family of 9. After our spouses passed, Ray and I became even closer because of the void in our lives. I was absolutely devastated when he passed so suddenly. I lost my best friend. We loved going to the casino on New Years Eve and it had become (a tradition). He was such a good person and loved his family. Gone far too soon and I wish he were still here. Rest In Peace my brother. Carol Dominick

Ray and Ave were truly a great couple. We got to know them through bowling and later shared many fun times camping, weekends away and dinner. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To the Ebel family I'm so sorry to hear of Ray"s Passing. We just talked on Thursday the day after his ear operation and he said he felt good and was looking forward to our luncheon next week. He was a GREAT friend to me and I"ll always remember him. I"m sure he"s with Ave now, and if their is any fixing to be done in heaven he will be doing it. Again so sorry for your loss. Joe

Goodbye to my beloved brother and my best buddy. I will miss our Saturday morning breakfast. He was the kindest friend I ever had and my heart is broken for him. He and I were the last of nine siblings and now I am alone. I miss him so very much
