I knew Ray back in the days when we both worked at tge Kitchens of Sara Lee. We had some some fabulous experiences and made some great memories. Ray is in Heaven and one day we will chat about the good times we had. I am sure he is missed but not forgotten!!! Bill O´Connell

Amy, I am sorry for your loss. I found out in the bulletin at church. I loved listening to your father on Thursday nights during Bible Reflections years ago. I adore both your parents and was always happy if I attended Mass when they did. You are "Ray" of sunshine. I haven't seen you in awhile. Please know that I've always adored you. God Bless you always, Julie Rohrbach
