RAUL GERARD FONSECA

My dear friend Raul. Closing in on 10 years since your passing, your voice, knowledge, empathy and great sense of humor still visit my thoughts almost everyday. Thanks for your insights into Christ and the teachings you could make so very clear in a very loving way. I'm glad you came into my life--and you were and excellent tennis coach to my family. I wish Nancy and the family the best, now and always.

All that can be said has been said...and we will say it again! Raul was a special person in my life and to all that the fortunate people who got to know him. Still telling Raul stories...and praising Jesus. Thanks Raul

My philosophical talks and stories with Raul still resonate into my own talks and stories, but more importantly he taught me to recognize how our foundational Christian beliefs are the roots of our identities. I will continue to share the impact of knowing Raul in my life. Jesus would be happy to know that Raul lives on through others...

Gone but not forgotten. We still miss him at St. James.

Raul made our lives better with his deep faith and great good humor and gratitude.

While worshipping with a small congregation in Tampa,FL, my wife and I were the beneficiaries of Raul's Biblical insights. His preaching accentuated the love of our Savior, bringing us into a closer commmunion with Jesus. He bore much lasting fruit.

Nancy
Our family will always remember how Raul kept his faith in God above all else. He made those who he met feel special. Taking my calls to talk tennis and life, even while he was feeding tennis balls. We enjoyed staying at your home a few years back and enjoying the seeds of love we found there. We will miss Raul.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with you.... dave and teresa vaughn

Dear Nancy and family...Dave and I have so many sweet loving memories of you and yours. We treasure you and Raul as our brother and sister. It was a blessing to see you both at the church in Chicopee. May God give you peace. We love you. Deb and Dave Long
