My sincere condolences to Ray's family. I had known Ray from my earliest days in Engineering at Kelvinator in the early 1970's through the plant closing in 1987, and on to my committee involvement at the credit union.

Ron, So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing! He was always so kind and funny. I especially remember when we visited your parents at Lincoln Lake and how sweet they were. My mom also worked with your dad at Electrolux and she alway said he was one of the nicest people she had ever known. =) Know that even though it's been years my thoughts and prayers are with you! May you feel God's peace and comfort in the days and months ahead. Kelley (Bunce) Wilson
