Raymond Michael Shimko Jr.

My deepest condolences and sympathy to Ray's family and all of his many friends/co-workers. I got the unfortunate news while away on vacation last week. Ray was one of the most genuine people I've ever met. He was more than a co-worker, he was a great friend. His sense of humor, his willingness to help others, his smile and laughter will be sorely missed by all that have known him. All of us who have had the honor and privelage to know you will miss you greatly! May you be at peace my...

My condolences to Ray's family. He was a co-worker and friend. He always saw the bright side - even when things didn't look so bright. He will be sorely missed. I will remember his smile . . .

This goes out to my cousin, Raymond III. You have my deepest sympathies and love. Losing a parent is never easy, especaiily when you are young. Be happy in knowing that you have the love, support and comfort you need from your family, especially your mother (MaryAnne), she will be your rock. God bless you.
Angie Baranovich & family

Ray was one of those rare people who was ernest, smart and simply a wonderful person to work with. I am fortunate to have known Ray since last September. Although our time working together was brief - too brief - he made an immediate and long lasting impression. I will never forget Ray, and miss him already.

It is very sad to lose a loved one. Ray was a true friend of my brother Jeff. Even though they may not have seen or talked to each other on a weekly basis they remained best friends. The family vacations that Ray went on with our family will always be in our memories (trouble always followed them) Ray was an honest,loving and trust worthy person. I am sure God has a plan for him therefore taking him so early in life. He will be deeply missed. Our prayers are with your family.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Ray's Passing...Ray was a good friend through high school..always good for a laugh. I am sure that anyone who had ever met him will dearly miss him

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I’ll miss Ray tremendously; he was a good friend, colleague, mentor and an all around genuine person

Ray, I will never forget all the good times we had sitting in your Mom & Dad's living room, talking, laughing, playing cards (and you getting mad because you were losing). My fondest childhood memories were spent with you, Cindy,your Mom & Dad. May you rest in peace. P.S. When you see my Dad, give him a kiss for me and tell him I love him. God Bless!
