We are so sorry to learn of the death of your father/grandfather, Ray Bashline. When we worked together at LJ's, he was quite a mechanic but we still had fun there together. After the sale I had yearly picnics here at my home for the LJ crew. After your mother died Ray was not as interested in coming as, except for Henry Pasquinelli, the rest of us had spouses with us. Henry would come anywhere there was food! Kind, gentle men Ray & Henry both were. I did keep track of Ray thru mutual friends, the Bowsers of Elderton. Too many of our LJ fellow employees are gone now but never forgotten by those of us who loved them.
