Nancy and Gary and Family,

Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. We know you loved your Father dearly and will miss him, as we all will. The racetrack won't be the same, says Grandpa Chester! Godspeed. Love you all,

Our deepest sympaty goes to your entire family.No matter how old we get,we will always be kids to our parents.They bring us into this world,teach us to be the best people we can, and hope we live our lives to the fullest.We try to make them proud,and sometimes it makes us nuts,but it's all worth it,

because we were worth it to them.

Ray was a happy snowbird and racetrack man.

Daughters are always "Daddy's Little Girls" and Sons play their roles in different ways.

He's holding hands with Mom and smiling,probably talking about "The Kids"

God Bless You All

Love

Grady,Diane,and the Gianpaolo Family
