Memories and Condolences
for Raymond Brito

Not sure what to say?





John Kacich

Upon reflection, my remembrance of Raymond Brito the man, would have to be a loving father and husband, a person who would get involved in everything from his children's school to his children's sports, to his children's friends. He wanted to be sure his children had good friends, and they were always welcome in his home, as was everyone.



His family ties were very important to him, be it his immediate family or his extended family. What I am trying to say is that Ray was always there to help. The world is a better place because of Him.



A patriarch of the Brito family. he always liked having a group of people around him. From playing cards to board games, to darts to domino's, always the generous host.He will be missed. I miss Him already.

Ray brought a special sense of good humor, friendliness and competence to his position at Lions International. Everyone who worked with him or knew him respected him and could rely on him. His lively, engaging personality and trusted friendship will be missed.

Dear Brito Family,

I found Ray to be a friendly, delightful man who enjoyed life and people. He touched so many and gained the utmost respect of any person I know. He always had a smile ready, and the attitude to go with that smile. I loved Ray very much, and I will cherish the many happy memories he left in my heart.

To the Britos

When I think of Ray I think of board games and John Wayne movies and the Yankees and the Cubs and trips to North Carolina that he enjoyed because it wasn't cold there (unless we kept the air conditioning on too high). But most of all I think of lots of laughs, some even at his expense. He was a good man and a good brother-in-law and isn't that about the best thing you can say about someone?

To All The Brito Family. We were saddened by the news of Raymond's passing and send all our heartfelt condolences, our prayers and thoughts are with everyone during this difficult time. May the Lord surround you in the arms of his love and sustain you with the inner pease that he has promised us.



The past few years it seems there are more and more tears as those we love leave us. When the tears are gone we can see more clearly, know and understand more fully the joy of eternal life and that we will be together once again, helps us to carry on. God Bless your family in this time of need.
