Used to live 2 doors down from Mr. Ray and went to high school with his son. Mr. Ray was always a nice guy and always told me he hoped one day the beer truck would break down in front of his house and the driver would ask him to keep an eye on it for him while he went to get help. :)

It will be the little things you remember, the quiet moments, the smiles and the laughter.

Laura pointed out I asked God to bless Ray's shoes (sole). I really meant to say may God to bless his soul. I am sure his shoes are fine.

Dad,

I am so fortunate to have such an amazing father.

I will carry on the lessons you have taught me.

If I live this life with even half the strength, compassion and love you gave, I will be truly blessed.

I hope some day to be such a loving and giving parent, as you were. And someday when my children look at me, they will see you, and your love.

love you Daddy,

Laura
