Dear Tony,

I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family during this time. I remember your father as always being an active person in your classroom. He always had a smile and a kind welcome for everyone in the building. May God bless and keep you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

Tony, I was sorry to hear from my mother about your Dad's recent passing. It sounds as though you all were very busy and also had a wonderful trip to Washington, DC. Your Mom and Dad were super people; my best to you and Mary Lou during this difficult time.

I thought it was so great that you went as your Dad's Guardian. I know the day was one I will cherish forever. I'm sure you feel the same way. I hope to go again this next flying season. I have a vivid memory of you and your Dad coming down the isle of the plane, bantering with each other, it...

To Mr. Shoviak,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. You dad was a wonderful man. I enjoyed listening to him tell stories of him and my grandfather and seeing his great smile. May God bring you comfort in your time of need.

Love, Herneika Johnson

Anthony and Janet,
Your dad was a nice guy and a lot of fun to be around. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with you.

The Shoviak Family,
Ray was an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was one of the first operators that I met at TARTA when I hired on (1979) God Bless your family and Ray will be remembered for what he stood for as a man.
