I am writing this for my Dad. He had cut out the notice and I found it at his house. I know he worked with Ray ay Helene Curtis. Ray's name would come up regularly during dinner conversation. Dad doesn't remember new things these days. He didn't remember saving the O.B., but the old days are still with him. We will be praying for Ray.

Dear Mary Ann and Pam, I was so sorry to hear about your dad. He was a special person. He always treated everyone with respect and friendliness. I am so sorry that I haven't seen him in so many years. If possible I will try to get into tonight otherwise know that my prayers are with you both and I will have a mass said at my church in Wilmot (Holy Name). Love your cousin Barbara

Ray and I worked side by side for about twelve years. He was a true friend. I knew his nephew, Mike Kamowski, very well. I will keep Ray in my prayers.
