Fred P. Rumak
Just heard of Ray’s passing. My sympathies to the family. I fondly remember Raymond, the OLD Gretzinger’s Garage, the backroom gang where I supplied 7UP for their drinks and curling with Ray in the Winnipeg bonspiel. With Ray’s passing, there are very few left that I remember as a kid. Rest in peace.
Rose
To my beloved lost sister Carla, I think about you so often and the loss of our friendship and the fun and laughter we had known. I have known tears and failures my dear little sister. Lets cheer up because we will meet again on the other side and have a chance to laugh together again. I have missed you so much. Your Dad has gone to a better place. Love: Rose
