Raymond Charles COLTON Sr.

Marie and family

I'm so sorry to learn of Ray's passing, and extend to you and yours my sincerest sympathies at the loss of another Victory Division member to be thrown into the Korean war. My only mutual experience with Ray and with you was at the 24th IDA Reunions, first at Columbia SC, and then a year later at Springfield MO. And of course through his excellent book, Sacraficial Lambs. Ray made a difference in life. May God be with you.

Sincerely


Tom...

Very sorry to hear of another "First to Fight" soldier leaving us. My condolences to the family and all his many friends.

Meme and Family, May you feel some comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of Bappa during this time of sorrow. He was a great man and I always loved hearing the story of how you two met. My thoughts are with you!

Irma and family, my sincere sympathy in your loss.

Sharon & Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do to help you please ask. My thoughts will be with you. My deepest condolences.

I always remember Mr C asking me for a
" Grape Nehi " back when I worked for him at the Windsor Court Hotel.
I have always thought of him when I see a Nehi, to this day.
A real gentle-person whom I was fortunate to know.

So sorry for your loss.

Mrs Colton,
I am saddened to hear of Mr Colton's passing. Another founding father of Sharren Lane who served his country with distinction has left us. I pray for you, Sharon,Raymond and your entire family. My deepest condolences.

Mem: Was so sad to hear of Bappa's passing. He was a fine man and a wonderful uncle. He'll be greatly missed by all that new & loved him. May the memories you've shared ease your time of sorrow. I love you. Paula & Hal and the girls.

Irma, I know people say,"He is in a better place now", but I know the hurt when they are gone. You want them to stay with you. All I can say is I will pray for both of you!!! Richard Berkley
