I knew Raymond Kankoski in the US Army. He was stationed in Baumholder, Germany. He loved life, lived it to fullest. He loved traveling, he was the life of the party he made me laugh and smile. He was good friend. I wish his soul is at peace, and I wish peace and condolences to his family

Dear Ray and Pam, I met you both at the fall event at the Frazer Sportsman Club. Billy told me about the passing of your son. I can´t imagine how heavy your hearts must be at this time. There can´t be any greater loss than the loosing a child. Be patient with each other, we all grieve differently and for different amounts of time. This has got to be tough and I hope I never have to go through this. I am Crystal Fosnaught´s mother and offer my deepest most heart felt sympathy. Sincerely, Joyce Bowser

Carol and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss! I myself lost a child!
No parent should ever bury their child! It's a long painful road to travel!
Condolences to all!
