I talked with you in the hall at Loretto on Tuesday night. I want to express my sympathy to your family in your loss. I, too, lost my sister two days later. They both are at peace and free from pain in their new home. Judy Foss
Our dear friend RAY DI PIETRO has died. We cannot tell you how much we cherished our friendship with him. He has been and will continue being a member of our family. We will forever appreciate the enrichment he brought to our lives. We love Ray and we will continue to love Ray, his humor, his caring, his weather predictions and all his wisdom. We are certain he is on that incredible TIME TRAIN that he wrote about in his book. Thank YOU, RAY, for all your gifts and especially for your loving kindness. You, Ray, touched our SOULS ... We will miss YOU! May you SOAR with ANGELS and SMILE on us from above ... THANK YOU, RAY ... Con Vero Cuore e Amore Infinito,
Nancy (Nunziata) and Dale Gallagher
From Ray's Book ....
The Flaming Spirit and the Incredible Time Train:
"Is it so important to settle the score?
Why not play the game without keeping score?
Who wants to be losers in life's little games?
With love and compassion we'd all be the same."
To his family, we are with you, sharing feelings and celebrating having known Ray and through him getting to meet and know all of you. Be in touch. In ONENESS & LOVE, Nancy & Dale
Flo, Raymond & Angie, Dave & I were so sorry to just learn of Ray's passing this morning. We've known him since childhood. I saw him a few months ago over at the Credit Union & we had a good chat and we talked about his great love through all the years for you Flo. I never dreamed it would be the last time I'd see him. He was a unique man, always full of wit and wisdom. He will be missed by many. May your wonderful memories and knowing he is at peace bring you comfort in the days ahead. Sending you lots of Sympathy and love, Dave & Brenda Hamilton
Dear Floence, It was sad to hear of Ray's passing. He was an easy person to do business with. He always made me feel comfortable in dealing with him. I really enjoyed our recent conversation about his motorcycle days. I will think of him with the deepest respect always! He is probably back riding his bike and making a better place for all of us to join him. My thoughts and pryers to you and your family! Rob Keller Jr.
Flo: I certainly wish to express my deepest sympathies and wish you the best of health. Remembering the goods times at Rainbow shores as enjoyable. sincerrely Joanne Cavalty
Dear Flo, we didn't know Ray as much as we would have liked to...but we will always have very fond memories of him. Every time I saw him at TPA, he was always so happy to see everyone and I always looked forward to visiting with him at the meetings and tasting his newest food creations. Bob and I unfortunately will be out of town leaving tomorrow morning so will be unable to attend services. Please know we are so saddened by his death but also know he was so spiritual that I know he lives on and isn't suffering. We will miss him - as I'm sure many other will as he had a way of touching everyone. He was a very special guy. Take care of yourself......Love, Bob and Fran Torrisi
Dear Flo, my heart goes out to you and your family now. The many fun filled years we had camping can be our memories. The sound of buggles will now fill heavens ears. You both were such good friends for Don and me. He will be among the stars which represent the angels. May you have peace knowing so many people care. Love Judy
Dear Flo there is not much any one can say at a time like this that will make things better.
God now has Ray by the hand and he has not forgoten you eather he will make things easyer as time goes on.
