Being that I live so far, it was hard to see my grandpa as much as I would have liked to. But the time that we did spend together was very special - and I will cherish those times. My grandfather was a good man - who always made people laugh - through the good times and the bad - even in his final days. I hope that I can be half the man that he was, and it makes me proud to carry on his last name.

Besides our intelligence, strikingly good looks, and sense of humor, my grandfather and I share something else in common - our beautiful blue eyes. Eyes are a window into an individual's world. Through my grandfather's eyes I saw many things: strength, courage, modesty, pride, love and laughter. His eyes would sparkle at the sight of my grandmother, his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Happiness beamed through his beautiful blues when we spent time together and especially when he was sharing a joke. I am lucky to have wonderful memories of my grandfather and the precious time we spent together. More importantly, I have been blessed with his life and a window into his world every time I look into the mirror. Grandpa, thank you for giving me the gift of you. You will forever be apart of me and I will miss you dearly. I love you with all my heart and soul.

My Grandpa was a lot of things. He was a man of truth, a man of heart, a man of laughter, a smart man, an honest man, a simple man, and a man I was so proud and honored to have as my Grandpa. He always knew how to make us smile and he knew how to make his grandchildren feel special and loved. I will miss him more than anything. He was such an important and constant part of our lives and not having him here will be a difficult reality. However he will continue to live on through us and his memories keep him alive in our hearts. I love you with everything I have Grandpa and will miss you more than words. Thank you for being the best Grandpa a girl could ever ask for and in case I don't see you again..hello. xoxoxo

As the youngest grandchild, I was truly blessed to be given Raymond as mymiddle name. I have never met a man as perfect as my Grandpa. I'll always remember how we would greet each other every time. We would put our hands to our hips, shake our hands, and he would always say, "I got your gun." While laying in his hospital bed, he grabbed my hand like we always did and told me, "Ya got my gun this time." So for you Grandpa, I'll stick to my guns and carry your name. Ray was certainly a man to idolize. His humor, patience, and grace was simply out of the ordinary. His strong mind and personality leaves little to be imagined. Our low stock of Old Milwaukee and your presence will be missed far more greater than words can discribe. Grandpa, I love you, and there is only two last things I would like to ask of you before I say goodbye. One, I would love to follow your footsteps and become at least half the man you were. And two, like you always said, for one last time "In case I don't see ya again...hello." See ya in heaven Grandpa.

A man of honor. A man of compassion. A man of laughter. I would like to share with you, two of my favorite memories of my grandpa. My grandpa used to collect wheat pennies. When I was younger, I used to go over to his house on many weekends to help him separate every penny according to year. At that time, his collection was pretty large, but I wanted to help him grow this unique collection of his. So, working for Chase Pitkin for 6 years, every single penny that went through my register, I looked to see if it was a wheat penny. I even got my co-workers looking too! Once I had a good envelope full, I would bring it to him and to see the smile on his face was priceless. To this day, I look at every penny to see if it is a wheat penny. I will keep my grandfathers unique collection going for as long as I live. The 2nd memory that I would like to share only happened a week ago. I was on the phone with grandpa and I asked him how he was feeling. He said, What am I doing? Of course, I just went with it, and said, yeah, what are you doing Grandpa. He said, I am sitting here staring at all of these ugly people! Then all of a sudden he said, Do you want to know a secret? What is the longest word in the universe? I said, I have no idea. He said, The longest word in the universe is, SMILES, because there is a MILE in between the Ss. Every time I see someone smile or I hear the word, I will think of my grandpa. And if anyone knows our family, we do a lot of smiling, so Grandpa is here everyday in our smiles. A man of honor, a man of compassion, a man of laughter. This is for my Grandpa
Grandpa, you are an amazing, remarkable man whose example guides me, whose wisdom always points me in the right direction, and whose love I will carry with me through every turn in the road. Grandpa, the things you have given me through the years of my life have been some of the most priceless gifts any person could have ever received. And for that, I thank you Grandpa with all of my heart. I love you and I am going to miss you.

For Uncle Ray Those song-filled Sunday afternoons, your masterful art of percussion spoons. We'll miss your jokes and light-hearted way. We'll miss you and remember you, our Uncle Ray! I remember a day you got caught in a fight. A lunatic neighbor hurt mom with such might! And her wild husband got into the act - - Thank God for you, helping defend the attack! Parading around in my mom's blonde wig - - Incognito and dancing a jig. The crazy neighbor was seeing red - - screaming, "someone find that guy with the bald head! The last one to bed and the first one to rise, while everyone was fighting to open their eyes! Coffee was made, breakfast smells permeating. I'd laugh when you'd say, "Dawn, going trotting?" Adept at all crafts, you had gold in your hands. Tackling all projects, you were a one-man band. I was always so happy when you came to stay, a true kid at heart, you know how to play! Exuberant in dance, that Peabody swing, graceful Ruth as your queen and you were her king! Loyal to Ruth and a dad so giving - - - Inimitable soul, you gave so much while living! A valiant hero of World War II, fighting for freedom and I thank you. Don, Mary Ann, Cathy and Ruth, Your soul's inside them and that's the truth! Along with all your special grandchildren, your life here with them was indeed such a blessing! Heaven awaits you and God's cleared the path - - your comedic genius will emit angel's laughs! Next time we think thunder's rocking the sky, we'll look up and smile and give this reply..... "Ray's got them going, they're busting their wings! They're lucky to have you and the joy you will bring! I'll miss you, all my love, Dawn

This space isn't large enough for the many memories I have of you Uncle Ray, nor are there words enough to say how much you will be missed. Your sense of humor and the jokes you told will tickle my funny bone always. And how I loved to watch you and Aunt Ruth dance ... particularly when you got up to do the Peabody ... it amazed me how she could keep up with you ... because I never could. I remember your house in Valley Stream and the many card games our family played around your dining room table. When I think of all our family members who have gone that's how I picture all of you in heaven, playing cards around your dining room table, singing old songs, and waiting for the rest of us to join in wearing those "special" hats we used to make.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. He was a wonderful person. I will always remember the first time I ment Ray and Ruth at the Veteran's Agency and what a small world it was to find out that they were Mary Ann's parents. Also, the lovely Christmas Eve get together's at the Benham's and the love that the family has for each other and others around them. I am blessed to see that and look forward to Christmas Eve every year. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Lorie and Milt Adam
