Some of the memories, which I will remember are of Raimo winning the foot races at Saima Park during the Finnish summer celebrations. I would on occasion catch a sighting of Raimo staying in condition on the streets of Fitchburg.
May you rest in peace my friend.

Dear Dad, You will be missed and loved forever. Glad that you are no longer in pain and suffering from vascular dementia. I will think of you dancing with Mom in heaven. And joining family and friends that have been waiting there. Forever remember you telling me that you had a horse out on the truck, which ended up being a hood ornament. Put you did get me a real one later.
