I remember Ray when he first met Mary. They were very fortunate to have each other. Although, I have not seen him since I was a teen, my remembrances of him were a very kind, humorous and gentle man. And I know that my deceased mother, Inez, shared these same thoughts. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences go out to the Bruns and Antonik families.
P.S. Hello Bob, I am so sorry to hear about Ray. It’s been quite a while since we have seen each other. Hope that you and your family are well and content.
Sincerely,
Bob
