To the Ganske Family- From the Armacost Family---I fondly remember those years growing up on the farm, and working with and around Ray. I particularly remember the summer of my dad's heart attack that Ray stepped up and carried the load. He was a straightforward,kind,and loyal friend to our family.
Blessings to the family.
