To Ray Todds family,
I am writing to you to let you know how sorry I am for the loss of your father/ grandfather. Ray was a wonderful man. He treated me like one of his own the first day I met him. I had a lot of good times with Ray, especially when I went to Lake Manatoulin, Canada with him we spent 10 days there fishing. He was a very hard worker and took care of my grandma until the day she died. I always respected and loved Ray and am very sorry for not being able to attend the funeral. I have a grueling work schedule and family schedule that has dominated my life as of late. I have said many prayers this month for Ray and look forwatd to seeing the great smile and wonderful personality in heaven some day.
May God bless you all!

Peace,
Joe KIss
