Our truest sympathies go to you all. We sure enjoyed first meeting Ray at the kid's wedding! The love, work and care he put into getting everything ready! And of course, the years after getting to be with you all at family gatherings! Our hearts are with you.
Laura, Mike Eckert and our sons Gabriel and Andrew.

Please accept our condolences. Ray was a man of energy and integrity. We will miss his steady presence. He was an anchor and model for his grandchildren especially. Go with our love, Ray.
