We will all miss you Uncle Ray !
I still remember all the good times – like wrestling on the floor, family get togethers, Holidays, you calling me Daniel Boone. having to walk Mic Mouse, helping with my car, and all the good advice on many topics throughout the years. You and Aunt Nancy have always been a great aunt and uncle to me and the entire Pecosky family. Kristy and I will forever keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We would also like to express our deepest sadness to Anita, Tim and the rest of their family.
