My uncle was a wonderful man. He was handsome, witty, had a wicked sense of humor & a warm smile. He loved his family, and was an all around good man. He will be missed a lot. He’s now reunited with his parents, sister, and sons.

My Uncle Ray loved his wife Rita dearly. He was a kind and gentle hearted man. As long as my Aunt Rita was by his side, he was happy and content. For those who know them, she did everything for him and he appreciated it. He loved to play cards every Wednesday night at the Elks Club, have a martini, smoke a cigar, and go to Las Vegas. He provided my family and extended family with eye care which most of us desperately needed. I will always remember the advise he gave me as a teenager, his asking me if his outfit matched, and putting his martini glass in the freezer for the next day. Thank you for all the glasses and contacts you provided me with. Hope you are playing cards and enjoying your martini in heaven.

I will miss his smile and the love he showed my daughter. She loved stopping in to see him and curling up in his lap. Even if it was just for a few minutes. I hope he knows he meant so much to so many.
