Yesterday

To the family of Ray Gertman
Ray was a very nice gentleman and I have known him for a great number of years. Whenever to came to Hempstead he would always check on my family. He loved him family greatly and would always speak about his grandson. That is what stands out in my memory as he would talk about him. My family and I express our deepest sympathy to his family. May he rest in peace.
