Memories and Condolences
for Raymond Wasielewski

Not sure what to say?





The only time this man didn't have a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye was when he was pulling your leg but trying to make you believe his story. My fondest memory is the day he heard me say I had never been in a row boat. He took me out, showed me how to work the oars, and let me practice rowing all the way across Maple Lake. He got in big trouble with Grammy Was when we got back because we missed her picnic lunch! Thank you for being Little Jenny's Grampy Was. All my love,
Carol Anne Fitch Wasielewski Baulos
