Frank Raymond Esser Jr.

To Frank's Children, Your dad was the nicest guy. He was our project manager for the rehab of a building we had bought to establish a permanent home for our restaurant in downtown Albany. He was working for Gary Kearns at the time. We became fast friends and he did a wonderful job. Just before our retirement his friend Marty, a regular customer, brought him in for lunch so we could see each other. We shared a big hug and were so happy to see him so many years later.

Dear Uncle Ray, A visit to You, Ginny, and the kids; my cousins, was always a hoot, Laughter, good food, jokes, doing something outside..... It was the best. Sooo much Love poured from your home. Such Joy. My heart goes out to All the friend who will miss you. I'm sorry to have missed the Celebration, to have shared a cry and lifted a glass to Salute, An exceptional man, father, friend and Vet. RIP Ray.

Dear Nancy Jo, I am so so sorry! Kathy

Oh so sad to hear. I remember him from The Silver Strawberry. I ordered my wedding flowers from his store. He was lovely, so friendly. My husband played little league baseball with his son. Sending our condolences to his family.

Ray became a wonderful funny guy I met while mowing his lawn. Loved our occasional lunches with stories. I´ll tip my glass to him every veterans day

Mr. Esser lived with his family nextdoor to us for many years. He and my Dad always helped each other out when one or the other needed tools or just a helping hand. After my Dad passed away 37 years ago Mr Esser continued to make sure whenever my mom needed help with the house he was there to help. Knowing he and Ginny were there for her made it comforting to know she wasn´t alone. I remember his funny sense of humor. He used to tend to his garden and try to get us to eat worms! Said they...

My condolences to the family. I´m sure he has left a giant hole in your hearts. I have very fond memories of him. He was always so good to me.

Goodbye Old Friend , We Shared A Lot Of Laughs And Good Times , Plus A Thousand Card Games. Thanks For The Memories , Ray , R.I.P.

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.
