To the Grabski family:
My apologies for this being so late, I just came across this website.
Ray was great...I remember the truck. Holly and I had some of the best times in the truck with the radio and Ray was so great about letting us have fun and be girls. He was such a teddy bear and had a great smile.
He will be missed.##imported-begin##Laurie Carter##imported-end##
I was very saddened when I had found out about Ray and I was thinking that it was just a few years ago when I first met Ray and Jan but on further recolection I came to realize that it had been almost 20 years when Ray and Jan came into my life and he always made it interesting and fun and we will miss him very much. all my prayers are with the family##imported-begin##Heather K Bonacci##imported-end##
THE GRABSKI FAMILY
Ray was in my class at school & I just remember a guy that was very nice & very quiet. He always seemed to get along with everyone. My prayers go out to the family, I'm sorry I never got to meet any of you & I'm sorry I never seen Ray in so many years...
May God Bless you & your family...

Heidi & Family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. My prayers are with you all.##imported-begin##Ken Stratton##imported-end##
Raymond... You were a bright spot in my day at LRI. You always tried to come across as this mean and tough guy, but I learned real quick that you were truly a caring and wonderful individual. I will miss your jokes and laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

There are very few people in this life with whom you meet and there is an instant connection. Ray was one of those people for me. Dont get me wrong , when i first met him he scared me with his pseudo tough guy persona but once you got past that there was no greater man you could ever meet. He really touched my life and I will miss talking to him every day at work,swapping recipes,hearing about his crazy cat,seeing his eyes light up when he talked about Jan and his daughters,but, most of all I will miss his friendship.He has left me with so many great memories of him and I feel blessed because I knew him.

Thanks for all the wonderfull childhood memories of fishing. You'll be missed##imported-begin##Brian Austin##imported-end##
My first memory of Ray was when my husband brought Ray to the house, a large gruff man, hard shelled with a marshmellow center. Over the years we have come to love this man and will miss his wonderful personality and smile,the way he loved to share a "find". Our hearts grieve with you Jan, he will be missed.##imported-begin##Gordon and Senja##imported-end##
To my other family,
There are many many memories in my life with all of you and Ray in them. I remember the time one summer as a young girl swimming/floating with Holly and Heidi in a river at his parents house and he told me of a water snake and how it would get us. I was so scared, but his laugh assured me that I/we would be ok. I love his laugh, his smile, his humor. It pains me so much not to be there. My thoughts go to each of you.##imported-begin##Maggie Segesser##imported-end##
Ray,
I'm so grateful for the many years of your friendship, the hunting and fishing trips, the late night talks, the wild antics.
You've been there for me during every experience of my life, offering support and love.
We've shared laughter and tears, a love of family, work experience, camraderie with coworkers and many friendships.
You've been such a good husband to my cousin Jan, a wonderful loving father to Heidi, Holly and Ryan and a doting grandfather to Roman.
Thanks for the memories, you were more than a friend, you were more like a brother to me.
You'll be missed, but never gone from my heart.##imported-begin##Ron Austin##imported-end##
