To Ray’s family and friends,
I am sorry for your loss. Ray was a very special person, he was a true and dear friend to my Dad, Sam Roberto and to our whole family. When my son was in grade school, playing ball, Ray would often go to his games, and always had to keep up with all the teams stats every Saturday during his weekly haircut.
After my Dad passed away, Ray often called my house to check in on us. We all loved “Ray the Barber” and have missed him over the past few years. May he Rest in Peace.
Love, Judy “Roberto”
