I am greatly saddened to hear of Uncle Ray's passing. I have been thinking quite a lot about him and aunt Rose over the past couple years.
They were inseparable in my mind. I have such wonderful memories of the many picnics and get together's the family's had back in the day !
My Dad was so proud to call him his brother and loved him dearly, as do I . Uncle Ray and Aunt Rose will always be special to me !
Love you all,
Jim Machowski
