Not sure what to say?

I worked at the IGA all through my High School and college years in the 1970s and early 1980s. They are years I remember fondly, and Ray had a lot to do with that.

RIP, Ray. And thank you.

Tom Zielinski

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your
time of grief. May your memories bring you
comfort.

The staff of Rainbow Hospice and Palliative Care

The sign of a good man is one that is warmly remembered and Ray certainly will be. He was a good friend, loved and was proud of his family, and cherished the care Shirl gave him. He was always commenting that he, "wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for her and her care". How many can play golf at the age that he played? What an inspiration! Hit em long and straight forever, Ray!

Offering our deepest sympathies during this time.
