So sorry to hear about Ray. I so enjoyed working with him on projects in Sunapee. He was always the first to volunteer and a pleasure to work with. Thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Mr. DiGiovanni has a special place in my heart, he went to high school with my mother, and me and Natalie ended up best friends :) the universe has a beautiful way of intertwining us. My mother adored him, she said he was always kind and a gentleman. Every time I went to Nat's house he always asked about my Mom and that made me feel special. I Loved eating good food and laughing at the DiGiovanni house! You will be missed by your loved ones and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mr. D give my Mom a heavenly hug :) Love you.

Papa i will miss you. I remember one of the times i visited and had to wear a boot because of a broken bone in my foot. That boot fell apart and you and i duct taped it all up so I could keep walking and playing with the girls. You always made me feel welcome when I would visit. Your smile was contagious and you knew how to make me laugh. I still crack a smile when i think about you duct taping my foot. Love always, Auntie Mary

Raymond R DiGiovanni along with his lovely wife Wilda created the most amazing family! I have gotten to know them as my best friend since childhood, was so unbelievably fortunate to not only marry Raymond's first beautiful daughter, but become a big part of Raymond and Wilda's family. Remember most about Raymond just how he would make me feel so welcome around him. That is a very unique and admirable skill that he mastered. Talking to him I always felt he was so interested in what I had to say. He focused in on what I was saying. He made me feel warm and accepted. Raymond, was always so super nice and jovial to me, whenever I was lucky enough to see him. Unfortunately it is too late to thank him for being that nice to me since I first met him in the late 1980's. Hopefully he knows he was loved by his family and all the people who got to know him. Rest in peace and watch over your tremendous family you built!

DiGiovanni Family-

So many of my parents’ greatest, most memorable stories begin with
“ ok so this one time uncle ray and aunt wilda,”

Sending you so much love during this truly difficult time. Your dad was especially kind to me when my dad passed and ill never forget his barrel laugh and warm smile. See you all next week..
