Just received this a few minutes ago. My heartfelt condolences to Elena and the rest of Ray's family. He will not be forgotten.

Hi Marion, my name is Elena. I was looking for info about my uncle when I ran across your site.

I'm sorry to say that my Uncle Ray passed away Wednesday, July 15, 2009. He had a heart attack and never recovered.
He was always extremely proud of his military service, and although I hadn't seen him in years, finding your site reminded me of those visits when he would bring his medals and pictures over to share stories with us.
Thank you for such a wonderful site! My uncle will receive a military burial in Holly, MI on Tuesday, July 21st. If my cousins don't already know about the site, I will tell them about it then. Thank you.
