Emily and I were deeply saddened upon hearing the news of Ray's passing. Our sincerest heartfelt condolences to Jean, the DiGuilios and their extended families. We moved into the neighborhood to a new development on Ashwood Ave in 1974. Began as neighbors and later became friends. Watched them grow and mature as a family, as I myself, evolved from a bachelor to a husband, and eventually a father. They had a wonderful family dynamic, brought about by Ray and Jean's nurturing and teaching. I truly wanted to attend the services, but due to circumstances cannot. Like Ray and Jean, we are gone from Ashwood Avenue, after losing Jeannette(Mother) in December of 2015. She passed on, peacefully in her sleep after reaching the ripe age of 100 years old, just a few weeks from being 101years old. Made some good memories of the neighborhood and with Ray and Jean. You're always in our thoughts and prayers. It is truly a blessing that the DiGuilio family was a part of our family's lives.
