Stephen D. Rayford

Steve was a great guy-I worked with him at Modesto Coca Cola. He worked very hard and moved up to supervisor. He also was a good softball player in the Modesto City Leagues. Very knowledgeable in consumer product sales.

So sad to hear this news. Steve was Class of '73 and I was Class of '74 at CHS. Seems like it was yesterday, can still see his always happy and smiling face. RIP buddy.
