    I am sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. I am acquainted with him as a customer mostly from the Baraboo Co-op and through Sears. I had the pleasure of getting reacquainted with Ray at White Creek after I moved up here. Ray was a great guy and I considered him a friend and enjoyed his company every time I ran into him. Rest in peace buddy..

    I remember Uncle Raymond as a little girl. He loved his fast cars and his fun. I think the blue one was a SuperBird, maybe? Or a Challeger? I remember the wing! He was always kind but he and my dad sure could get into some trouble! The memories make me smile and I’m hopeful that as your grief settles, because it never goes away, that the memories of your dad and the connection you shared will bring you smiles as well. Sending deepest condolences to all of the family.
