Raymond Paul Shaffer

Helen, and Family, I just came home for a week, I am living in Fla. after retiring in april, I was going through the Beacon Journals and saw that Ray passed. I am so saddened by the news as I know how much he will be missed, he was a great man and such a caring person. My parents are not doing very well at this time my dad is and has been in a wheel chair for over a year and my mother is so tired, life sometimes has ways of not quite being fair. You were very lucky to have had all the...

Sorry to hear about Ray. We were next door neighbors on 23rd street in Kenmore when we were kids, and played together. After we graduated from Kenmore High School we went our separate ways, and I saw him only a few times in the sixty ensuing years. The most recent was several years ago at one of the "Class of '46" reunions. He was a nice guy.

Helen and family
Our deepest sympathies in your great loss. Ray and Neut were our next door neighbors when we were children, and the family long-time members of our church.

Gary:
I will never forget your dad for what he was to me when I was a young teenager. Ray was instrumental in me becoming a man instead of a troubled juvenile. He showed me a direction in his lessons that put me on the right track when I worked for him at the Sinclair station in Kenmore. You and your family have our prayers and anything we can do, feel free to let me know.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

To Mrs. Shaffer, Debbie and family

Dear Helen,
We were sorry to hear about Ray. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. We remember all the good times we had together.
Howard especially mentioned hunting and going to the Sportsman show with Ray. We know he will be missed by many.

Helen and family my prayers are with you at this time. You and Ray were so kind when Dan and I purchased your Mom's home. Dan passed away in 2006. May God grant you much grace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
