Ramon L. Medina

We were good buddies at Kami Seya during our Navy days. I gave him the nickname "Pancho", subsequently shortened to "Panch." I loved his sense of humor, his enthusiasm for life. Many were the times we made each other laugh. And though still only in our teens, we often enjoyed philosophizing together. I'm sorry I did not maintain contact with him after our Navy days, but was heartened that others had done so, notably Jim Adamski, a mutual friend. I'll never forget my old Navy companion and...

Dear Kenny, Lisa & Lynn,

I was very sad to hear that your Dad passed away. I have many fond memories of time spent with your family in Coatesville, PA, and when he would visit us in California. He was always very kind and generous, and he had a wonderful sense of humor. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Love, Aunt Maggie and family (Davis, CA).

Judy and family,
It was a pleasure to not only be apart of the care that Ray received at Wyomissing, but also to meet such a wonderful family! You are all still in my heart and prayers, and I think of you often Judy. My sincere sympathies and faith, knowing we will all once again be in the presence of Ray and our Lord.
God Bless

Ray, you were my big brother, my hero, and my friend. I will miss you greatly but know that you are in the arms of our beloved Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. I'll be seeing you. Love always, Eva

Kenn,
I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. While, I never met your father, he must have been a wonderful man to have raised such a fine person in your self. My prayers are with you and your family!

My husband, Ed, had a reunion with all his Navy buddies from Japan three years ago and Panch and Judy were among them. It was a pleasure meeting both of them. Panch was a very quiet and humble man. I could see he enjoyed being with his Navy buddies. He will be terribly missed. My sincere condolence to Judy and family. You will all be remembered in my prayers.

I knew Panch as a "shipmate" (most of us never actually went to Sea) at Kami Seya Japan in the late 1950's. We had a reunion a couple of years ago with, Ed Downs,Panch, Jim Adamski, and John Moore. Panch, gentle soul, and ED, best friend, are now gone but never ever forgotten.

I met Ray at HP. I was new to HP and Ray took me under his wing to show me the ropes. His knowledge and wit were a joy to be exposed to. Ray always had a smile and a joke to share. On a few occastions I almost wet myself. LOL! Ray always did what needed to be done. He worked until the job was done. I didn't have a choice either, he was driving. LOL! I remember him always calling Judy when we worked late, letting her know he was on his way home. He was inspirational with how he...

Please accept my deepest sympathies upon the passing of Ramon. We were together for a long period of time while working at HP.
