While I did not know Raymond, I share a name with him and found his obituary while searching for relatives. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I would like to extend my condolences to his family. It truly is a small world we exist in.

To The Family of Raymond Sebetta,
I wish to know if this is the same Raymond Sabetta who was a boyhood friend more than 70 years ago. I lived on Ridge Street and I recall crossing the bridge over the NY Central railroad track to get to his home. I believed he lived on Valley Street or the some street conected to Broadway. I do not remember many people I associated with in those days (1930's) but Raymond was one of my best friends at the time, I always remember him.
I'm sure he will be long remembered for his life work and God's blessings to his family.
