Dear Ray Jr., Bruce & Family...We are very sorry to hear of your father's passing. It reminds us of the many years he served our family with all of the 'necessities' on our way through town, while catching a bit of town news and seeing friends as a special bonus. Please accept our sincere condolences. Harold & Carolyn

To the entire Urso family, I remember when Dad opened up the store in Burlington and he was the best. He treated us all as one of the family and I knew you all only as one of the kids. As I went off into the professional world I met all the kids again in different aspects of my life. Donna as my head nurse and then Steve and Rob were bestest of friends and we spent many vacations together. The rest of the boys I saw at many family gatherings in New Hartford. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in this time of sorrow and you will be remembered in my prayers at this time. God now has another angel.

Sincere sympathy to the whole Urso family. Your Dad was a great man and I will never forget his generosity and friendliness when he first came to town and opened the Village Food Mart, a store so desparately needed in town. I also remember him from years past at Lack's in Newington, my home town. May he rest in Peace.
Penney Atwood, Burlington,CT.
