Raymond Zulanas Obituary

Dear Charlie and Family:
So sorry to hear about Ray; our deepest sympathy. We just found about him this evening or we would have been to his wake

To Patricia and the Zulanas Family,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I had the privelege to work for Ray at the family business in Park Forest. I look back on those days quite often, with fond memories. I am grateful to have known and worked with Ray for several years. Rest in Peace Ray.

Patricia I am so sorry to hear about Ray. I was so saddened by the news. Know that he will be truly missed and that I think of your family every day. Ray was so great to me and I was truly blessed to have known him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Susie

Patricia you are in our prayers. Ray was a wonderful man and we will miss him. We are happy to have known him!

It is hard to imagine Ray is gone but as long as we remember him he will never be gone. His special laugh or a moment shared are times nothing can take away not even death so just reflect and he will come. Ray will be waiting with open arms when we go to meet the Lord. Ray rest in peace and know you touched many lives in your short life. God Bless all of us for having Ray in our lives.

I'm going to miss my uncle. Rest in Peace, Uncle Ray.
Love - Jon

Ray was one of the best friends I ever had, and one of the best human beings I ever met. I will never forget all the great times we had; and how much he loved his family. My condolences to the Zulanas family on this tragic loss.

To Patricia and the Zulanas Family,

My wife and I send our sympathy on the loss of your dear husband. Ray was a fabulous friend of mine in the Navy and I cherished his friendship. He was a great man and will be sorely missed. His magnificent smile will help to console your grief. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Patricia, Adriana, Raymond and Nina,

Maria has been talking to us about Ray since the onset of his illness. The love that generates through your family has allowed us to know you all in a very unique way. I'm sorry we never got to actually know the man who has abundantly touched so many lives. It is clear that Ray has made an eternal impression on anyone who has had the honor of crossing his path, including those of us who only know him through the stories we hear. I once sent an e-mail to encourage him but it was I who was encouraged after reading his response!

Patricia, every photograph you hold displays the saturation of love that Ray had for his family and above all you can see how much he truly loved God. We are so sorry for this tremendous loss you are suffering and pray God's comfort on you now.

Adriana, Raymond and Nina, May God shaddow you with is warmth as you follow your dad's legacy...

Patricia,
We were very sorry to hear about your loss. Mom let me know as soon as I got back in town. Our prayers are with you during your time of sorrow.
