I was worried when you didn't answer my birthday call. Shoot! Ray, many thanks for all the dog walks and wonderful talks we shared and please say "hi" to Betty and Boomer for me. My sincere condolences to Ray, Tommie and Vicky. And yes Ray, you were indeed a very lucky man. God Bless and you'll be missed.

With sadness, we extend deepest sympathies to Ray and Tom and the entire Kush family. Their father Raymond was a Great American, serving war missions during WW II in the Army Air Force, a predecessor to the U. S. Air Force. His longevity at the Tribune is another testament to his loyalty and dedication. Sue and Mendal Mearkle, Apple Valley, MN

Another American hero has passed away and I offer my sincere condolences to the family. Mr. Kush in the service of his country, helped save democracy and the freedom we take for granted. You have my respect and gratitude.
