Marcia and Susan,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. I will remember the times when Aunt Elaine and Uncle Ray would come to Joliet, give us a call and we would meet for breakfast. It was always a pleasure visiting with them. We had many wonderful conversations with them about the both of you. They were very proud of you both. The smiles on their faces were priceless.
Love,
Dennis, Deena, Vinny and Nicole Lovato

Marcia and Susan, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. I know how much you will miss having this wonderful man around. He's with your Mom, and together they'll always look out for you and love you, and guide you when you ask. Your parents meant a lot to me and I will miss them bunches. Hugs to you all; we are blessed with a wonderful family.

Cousins Marcia and Susan and your families:
Your dad was a great uncle. Joliet's loss was Wausau's gain when your family moved to Wausau. Great memories from being at Grandma Pekar's house on Sunday's and on Christmas Eve and your parents being at our house with Uncle Ed, Aunt Verne, Uncle John and Aunt Barb. Vacations in Rhinelander, WI with your family were so much fun! We must never lose touch with each other!
Sincerely, Aunt Mary (Pekar) Gasparich and your cousins Mary...

Your Father's journey has just begun. Just think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched. With deepest sympathy.

To The Family of Ray,
It sound like Ray made the most of his oppoutunities in life. May he rest in peace.
I was a year behind ray at JT. I played footbal as a freshman so I got to know Ray. He was always such a great athlete and a great individual. In 1951, that class of athletes won the Big Eight Conference in football. We all celebrated.
