Raymond Bajerski Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 5, 2014.
RAYMOND LEO BAJERSKI
August 21, 1960 – April 28, 2014
Words like integrity, humility, compassion, generosity, and humor describe Ray, but his everyday actions give those words meaning. Those actions are his legacy.
Walking into work with a bag of fresh Philly pretzels.
Cooking your favorite birthday meal or a ham to offer condolences.
Calling his favorite nephew to listen or give guidance.
Decorating his house with Christmas lights for neighbors and strangers to enjoy.
Taking orders for kielbasa from the Krakhaus in Philly.
Giving his mom her first ride on a motorcycle at the young age of 78.
Doing a U-turn to explore the no name waterfall you caught a glimpse of from the road.
Discussing pierogi making techniques with his brother.
Giving a pickup or drop off at the train station or airport or a ride to visit family in the hospital.
Showing his great niece the sites of Philly, especially the haunted house.
Organizing and preparing his famous surf and turf dinner at the Ronald McDonald House.
Calling your name in that offbeat way.
Doing the extra at work to get the job done.
Renting a house in the Outer Banks to spend time with his family.
Giving a quick smile or hug when you need it most.
Proudly sharing about the military service of his niece's husband.
Cheering for the snow storm to arrive and going for a ride in it to check out the beauty.
Always saying "I love you" at the end of a conversation with his sister.
Finding the balance between life and work, activity and rest.
And of course, falling asleep on the couch with the TV on.
Rest well our brother, our uncle, our friend.

Dear Raymo,
I miss you just as much today as I did the first day you left us so very unexpectedly. I remember that I was sitting in the living room, looking out the window, and saw Mike coming into the house. I was so pleased to see that Peter was right behind him. The happiness soon turned to anticipation that something bad had happened. Peter walked into the house, said "Hello. There's no good way to tell you this. Raymond is gone. I just didn't want you to be alone when I told you, so I called Mike and we met you together." They were so kind and supportive. Just as you've always been to me. You were my baby brother no matter the age and I still love you.

There are so many times when I've reached for the phone to call you and realized you wouldn't be there to answer.

I pray for you and talk to you and ask you for daily inspiration to help me emulate your enthusiasm and spontaneous joy of life.

Love, Audro .

Dear Ray, I wasn't able to put my thoughts and feelings into words before now. It wasn't until last night that they were even clear to me. As we celebrated your life I realized I was surrounded by more people I had never met than by people I actually knew, yet we were all saying the same things. I hope I never forgot to thank you for a kindness or a favor. I also want to thank you for all the things you taught me, especially the one about enjoying the simple things in life, and finding value in the seemingly unimportant. I also know that you are with God now, that you understood the concepts of Grace and Mercy. The thing I appreciate the most is that you were a living example of how to love others as Jesus taught us to do. Sometimes we Christians have a hard time remembering to do it and other times it is just too difficult, but showing love to others is something that you did EVERY DAY. Thank You. We love you. We miss you. By the way, when I see you again, I do plan on collecting that birthday dinner you promised me. As Always, WKD (aka Karen)

Uncle Ray,
Your love will always be in our hearts and the memories of you in our thoughts. We love and miss you. Dance among the angels, keep Grandmama and Grandpa company, and when you are not entertaining them, be our guardian angel. Watch over us, do not allow us to stray off from our paths and keep us safe.
I Love You,
Marcy

Uncle Ray will always be in my prayers, he was i really good guy. I miss him so much. We had a lot of plans for this year. I could talk to him about anything because we were so a like. We loved the snow,off roading, and the out doors. If we had more people like him on this earth this place would be a lot better. He would do anything for anyone no matter what it took.
R.I.P. Uncle Ray

Ray was an absolute bright spot to my day when I came to work. I never knew how I would be greeted. Whether a normal 'Good morning' or an out of the blue 'Sup', lol. His sense of humor never failed to surprise me and crack me up. In the short time I worked with him, he truly became my buddy. I miss you terribly, my friend.

Dear Audrey and Peter,
Words cannot express the sadness I feel...I know Raymond's passing was a total shock to everyone...He will be missed by all.
I am really glad I had the chance to spend time with him back in October. I loved his sense of humor and wish we all lived closer so we could have spent more time together. He has a special place in all of our hearts...Debbie
