My brother and I will miss our dad so very much. I hope everyone will share a fond memory they have of my dad. I am grateful my daughter got to know her Grampie and am saddened that my son will not. The curve balls life throws at us are almost always unexpected but it is up to us to remember the good times and keep the good memories alive. I love you dad, I always have and I always will. I hope you can rest now and know how much you will be missed for the rest of my days. Watch over your grandchildren, please help us guide them in their lives. Rest easy daddy <3

Lives shared by the closest of family members will always be in us,,,, even when there have been years apart from each other… Ray, we shared joys, some sorrows, good times and not such good times. 1967 was a very long time ago,,, that’s when it all began for us… we were so young. And now looking back,, there are so many stories to tell of our journey… I’m smiling,,, because it’s the good times i want to remember…. Vacations at Sebgo Lake, ME, Hampton Beach with the kids,,, Mud football weekends in N.Conway, NH,, winning a championship football game the day our daughter was born,, sharing the pride we had when our two kids graduated from schools of higher education… The four of us going to a Patriots game together,, even thou we had separated more than 15 yrs. before that. And the day our first Grandchild was born. Such amazing joy.
It’s really sad to me that your later years were not easy for you.. But i know having our kids close by you was something you were thankful for. …..The very best thing we shared was our children,,, and later, our grandchildren…. who brought such joy into your life… It helps me to know the happiness your two special grandbabies gave you…
It’s your time now,,, to rest easy.. and for me to say Thank you, for being a part of my life, for giving me my children,, and for bringing smiles to the faces of friends.
~~~You will be remembered,, always.
