Dear Sharen, Dianne, Suzanne, David, and Scott,
It's been many years but I still fondly remember Ray's kind smile and warmth. Whenever we spent time with the Lingenfelters there was plenty of laughter and activity.
To have lived life so that it is remembered in such a way, decades later, is a grand achievement in itself. These seemingly small things are what truly live on - you'll hear your dad in a sibling's laugh or see him in your child's gesture. And you'll tell a story and he will be there again.
I hope you'll find some comfort there.
Sincerely,
Ed Szumowski
Ray had a warm personality, always focusing on others over himself and making them feel comfortable in his presence. He was both wise and...a wise guy. :) I admire Ray and Sharon's kindness and generosity. My condolences to the family. Love, Tammy DeGray Gillett
