Very sorry to hear of your loss….I will always remember my Dad (Augie) and I having so many laughs at our family gatherings through the years. Ray and I joked that our birthday’s were so close together, mine being April 1st. I knew we would have a nice easy going afternoon when we knew Ray and Marsha and Marsha’s mother would be present. You are in my thoughts, Gail Faye Cuomo
Dear Marsha, Cheryl, Doug and the entire family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I am honored to have known Ray and will always remember him as a fun loving guy, always smiling and telling jokes; the life of the party! I have no doubt that he will have an easy time keeping the party going on the other side until we all meet again.
He will be missed.
With all my love,
Rich Kijewski
