Ray and Shelly I was very sorry for you both to see that so many of your family are gone. I know losing your dad had to be the hardest, but even harder is not having so many important people to grieve with. I remember how much your dad loved you guys and how proud he was of you both. Take care and I hope all the best for you and your families.

Dear Ray, little Ryan and Shelly,
We had never met your dad till the Labor day party and he seemed like a great guy who was constantly smiling. We know you will miss him, and we wish you strength to get through this difficult time. Please forgive us for not being able to get to Chicago for the services. Also please remember, we're always here for you.

Ray, Shelly, & Ryan

I always liked your dad. What I liked most was his humor. I don't think I ever seen him or left his house without laughing out loud. I'm really glad I went to Chicago with you guys and got to spend the day with him a few months ago. It was a good time and we had not done that in a while. Joey was a good guy and a lot of fun to be around. He will be missed.

My deepest condolences,

Sue Sterling (Covert)

Ray and Michelle,

I have many memories of hanging out with your Dad when I was younger. There was a group of us that always got together and always had a good time. You Dad will be missed by those of us who were in that group.

My condolences to both of you.
