I was very sorry to hear about Uncle Ray's passing. My sympathy goes out to Gordon & Family. I didn't read the free press until it was too late to attend the service for Uncle Ray. My heart goes out to you all. He was a great person. - Posted by: Evelyn Olson (nee Teplyski) (Cousin) on: Mar 14, 2015
