Dear Mrs. Pac & Family:
I had the pleasure of working with your
husband some 20 years ago @ Engine 49
where your husband drove 2-7-3. He
was a pleasure to work with every day,
we had so many good times & laughs, he
used to bring his grandson to work where he would show him firehouse life.
Ray was so well liked & respected by
so many, he had a one-in-a-million voice when operating on the radio at
fires.
I will keep him & your family in my
prayers ~ he will surely be missed.
