This is a personal blow as you might imagine. Unfortunately we're in SantaFe', NM at our daughter's home and won't be home until Dec 2.
Ray, or Ike as we all called him, was a friend of mine
beginning at Whitehall. In the 40,s. Our gang all enlisted in the Naval Reserve at the same time. We've had many happy days over the years and a lot to be thankful for.
Again, I'm very sorry to miss the viewing and of course seeing him riding his bike.
