I remember Ray as he appears in this photo from his youth. His mother (Lois) and my mother (Helen) were sisters. While I am ten years older, we would see each other at family gatherings in Plainfield during the 1940s, '50s and 60s. The Klett clan were a jolly bunch sharing lots of stories and laughter in those days.
I'm sending this message especially to let Ray's offspring know of my affection for all three of my Sebby cousins. Thanks to mutual cousin, Joyce Ebben, I heard of Ray's passing. I've lived in California since 1968 and so had little contact with my many cousins since then. Please know I care.
