Keith, and the entire Gines family. I am sorry to hear of your loss. May you be comforted with peace, and love of his memories and special spirit during this time. His legacy clearly lives on in his children. I have had the pleasure of working with his son Keith Gines. I am sure his fathers lessons, and work ethic were passed on through an exceptional example as it sounds like his father was. In working with Keith he is a kind, patient, and a has wonderful sense of humor. Bless your family during this time and always. -Stephanie Murray co-worker OC Tanner

I'm a good friend of Edith Hartman's She told me Ray was in a coma before she left for Park City. I am so sorry for your loss. I know Ray was very ill and in a lot of pain. For that reason I'm glad he is with our Father in Heaven. I lost my husband 10 years ago I know how it is to have our sweetheart taken away from us. Thank goodness for our beliefs in the here after. We will be with our darlings before long. Elaine I send my deepest sympathies may God bless you and your family through these hard times. My prayers are with you.
