Dear Jan, Anthony and Renee,

My wife Brenda and I found out today from Trish Fitgerald about Ray. I am so very sorry; we did not know and would have been there.

Ray and I grew up together in Cicero, and attended St. Francis of Rome. Ray was a much younger man (1 year). Our family of course were bakery customers and Ray and I played grammar school football and softball together. I attended Fenwick. To re-unite at St. John of the Cross years later was special.

To me, Ray was a smile, a hug, a kiss on the cheek, a "Hi Nicky; who are you and your family" guy. He always made me feel like he was truly glad to see me; that was his way. He was one classy man.

You are such a wonderful family and have enriched everyone whom you have touched.

Condolences and warmest personal regards

Dear Sarno Family, we're so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you.

Rick and I will truly miss Ray's smiling face. We are so thankful that we had the privilege of knowing him and being a little part of his life as his friend. Know that we are thinking of you and share in your grief. May the memories of his joy and love in life bring comfort to you. Rick & Monica Price

Dear Jan and children, we are very sorry for your loss. I can remember the days my dad,uncle Bob,Ray and Smiley went bird hunting. They had a ball together. We grew up at the right time and enjoyed every day. The neighborhood won't be the same. Heaven will be a great neighborhood now. Love and Prayers, The Landeweer Family

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My thoughts are with you in your time of sorrow. I lived down the street from Sarno's restaurant for a number of year.

Running into Mr. Sarno at Tischler's or St. John of the Cross was always one of the better directions my day could have taken. He had the perfect amount of charisma and sincerity. I'm glad I met him.

Thoughts and prayers to all.

We all knew Ray Sarno was the most wonderful man. He always went above and beyond for everyone. I always remeber Uncle Ray cooking in the kitchen while entertaining for family and friends. Uncle Ray would always tell me, "Relax, take it easy." Uncle Ray struggled throughout these years but did not show it. He was too busy helping others. I will also never forget how good he was to my papa Frank Glorioso. Ray Sarno will always live on in spirit. Everyone is devestated, but right now Uncle Ray is patting everyone on the back saying, "Take it easy guys."

Always in my heart and prayers

I love you all

Love Dana Marchese

Thoughts and prayers to all in your loss.

Dear Jan,

The Birkenheier's said it perfectly, Ray always made everyone feel special and very important and he was
sincere in all he said. After growing up in Cicero and
reconnecting with Ray thru mutual friends, we picked up
where we left off as though we were in each others lives
forever, that was Ray. Little Ray big smile big heart a real
man to be cherished with the memories and the example
he lived, each day, for all of us. Here's smiling at you Ray, you're the best!
Love Jeanne (Alfonsetti) Ohr
Sorry you will not make that dinner in Florida, you planned, at Christmastime, we will miss you so much.

Dearest Family,
Ray was one of the best and will go on forever.

Anth and family,

I am extremely sorry for your loss. I only met your father a handful of times ! He was always great to talk with and was sincere, real and genuine.
My sympathy to all of you.

Ray was a wonderful man and always greeted me with a smile. Every time I went into the restaurant he treated me as if we were old friends.

He will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy is extended to the entire Sarno family. Especially Jan, Anthony, Renee, Andrea, Jack and Anne. We hold a special place for Ray in our hearts. I truly thank Ray for the kindness he showed my sister Tricia. Jim loves to share the story about Ray and the accoridian player at Aunt Gloria's birthday party. It shows the great sense of humor Ray shared with everyone. He was a delight and will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our prayers are with you all.

Mr Sarno always made his customer's feel like family. I felt that way whenever I went there for lunch.We were just talking at the office how much we all missed Sarno's since we moved to Bolingbrook. My deepest sympathy to his family.

" Ray, was the Best. I knew him since Morton HS. He is a class guy with a Big heart and a grip like a Lion. Ray and Janet always supported our troops through the USO. What a Great man May his memory bring peace,joy and strength to all who loved him.
With Love and Deep respect.

I will never forget Ray's laugh and his heart , both were huge.Growing up with Ray as a friend from 12th and Austin was something that I will never forget. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. He was an awesome friend who I called "cousin" growing up in Cicero. Our families were close and I remember Friday nights at the bar and waiting for midnight for his mom Ann's great fried chicken. He had a great sense of humor like his Dad Frank. Although we lost touch as we got older, I often think about him and his family. He will be missed by all I'm sure. Please accept my sympathies.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Sarno family. I was a class member of Larry. Our family had many happy a meal at "Sarno's".

Jan, I am deeply saddened to hear about Ray. He truely was the most endearing and genuine man I have ever met. I will never in my entire life forget when he came up to me at my wedding and said I was the most beautiful bride he ever saw; and reminded me of that every time I saw him since. We're led to believe that heaven is a place of peacefulness and resting. I know Ray is there, shaking everything up with his fantastic smile and hearty laugh. May God bless all of you. Love, Suzy Marcus
