Dear Mrs. DeFelice and family, We are so sorry for your loss, and we will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Ray worked on my team, Letter C, at the refinery. He was a team player, and always made a positive influence in meeting our objectives and goals. I'm grateful to have been a small part of his remarkable life. Ray was a good man with a kind heart that loved his family. May the special memories you have of Ray help you through this difficult time.
Earl & Rose Groover
