So sorry to hear of Ray´s passing! Had he been sick long? I have to work that day so I won´t be able to come to his viewing, but I wanted you to know you´re in my prayers! Lynne (Wilkins) Hoffman

I met Mrs. and Mr. Ray Burger at age 16 when I became friends with Thom and Dave. He and Michele made a significant contribution to my life by including my sister and I in their Cape May summer vacations with their sons that created so many fun adventures and memories.
Ray loved eating at his favorite restaurants and generously shared those experiences with us as well.
Michele, thank you for making these memories with Ray for all of us. I'll always cherish them.
