I was so sad to hear that Ray had passed away. I always had a soft spot in my heart for him and know he will be missed. Please also know that Mom and Mike also send along their condolences. They had not realized that Ray had passed away. My prayers to Joan and Catherine and their families. Carol Dansereau and family, Mike Banville and family and Laura Banville. - Posted by: Carol Dansereau (Friend) on: Jun 25, 2011
