I was Ray's banker. I loved hearing about his stories of old St Paul. He was always smiling and told me that I was a good person. You are the company you keep: HE is a good person. What a colosal loss. My heart goes out to Angela and the rest of the family. May you heal from the pain of loss and bask in the beautiful memories.

Angie I'm so sorry for your loss, may your father rest in peace ðïļððž Thinking of you in this difficult time, I'm hear if you need to talk love you!!
This might be kinda long but I don't care! Sorry y'all!
First of all, I want to apologize to you, Angela Ann, for not being the friend I should have been by keeping in touch like I should have! Please know I love you so much (and I have since the day I met you while I was having lunch.) Something just clicked between you and I that day, and when you put a good word in to Dave for me and helped me get a job when I needed it, without even knowing me from Eve, I knew u were a keeper! I felt so blessed! And we became friends! and we got SO super close .. And I got to meet the Snuffy's crew .. and your crew. The fam!! I will never forget it .. LoL .. I thought you were pulling my leg when you introduced pops as your dad. But damn did he end up becoming someone I called a friend!! My favorite memories of Ray will always be, of course, the hard, dedicated work he never failed to deliver, him stoking the fires trying not to fall in, (especially on your birthday that year) and listening to all the $#!āļŊ he would talk to Kyle! But at the end of the day, he loved him like a son! And he didnt treat me any different! Even tho my dad had been passed for about a year before I met you, you helped me get thru so many emotions I had regarding it .. and mood swings .. and guilt trips .. and days I just hated myself! Or life! Or both!! I am very sorry that I haven't been there for you, prior to this happening!! But I'm back now .. And I'm not going anywhere. So hopefully we can get together soon!
And second of all .. To Ray's remaining family and friends .. I am deeply, deeply sorry for your loss! Ray was a wonderful man. A hard-worker, a fun co-worker, a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend! Please know he loved all of you guys, too!! He will be missed! May all his pain and sorrows finally be nil, and may his soul rest peacefully!
Two my niece Angela i know your pain and i am praying for you. To my Brother i want you to know that i have always loved you,sorry i was not there for you like i should have been. RIP and say hi to MOM&DAD With love your sister pam
