To the Raskin Family,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Raskin. What a wonderful, kind man. I will always remember a welcoming smile and a cheery greeting from him no matter how late the time was when we returned from those swimming trips. I am sure he will be fondly remembered by so many people and sadly missed by everyone. My husband Tom always enjoyed going down to the jewelry store for a visit when we came to town. You are all in out thoughts and prayers.
