Mrs Bonner, Mark, Lee and Bob;
Rarely in my life have I ever encountered a man who so loved life, his family, his business and his White Sox. It has been my honor to call Ray Bonner my friend for the past 35 years and to have had the wonderful opportunity to share his knowledge, his wisdom and his counsel when I would visit him at the Mid City Currency Exchange. Although Ray got older, he never aged. Ray's work ethic, pride and desire to help people are embodied and will be carried on by his terrific sons. I thank you for sharing your husband, your father and our friend with all of us for these many years. God Bless You Ray-the most amazing man I have ever had the chance to get to know, and love.

Mark.
I would like to extend heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
I have fond memories of our Dads playing ping pong in your basement on BrynMawr. I remember them also taking us to the batting cages behind Kiddieland.
Please know you are in my thoughts.
You called me 2 years ago when my Father died and it meant a lot to me. Somehow I misplaced your phone number. Mine is 773-220-0975.
Take care.
