To the entire family. It is with heavy heart that I received news of your father’s passing. Words escape me to express my sadness for your family’s loss. I very much enjoyed your father’s company and conversation whenever we had the opportunity to meet. I enjoyed helping Herb and Ray working on a few home improvement or renovation projects that Ray took on. I must admit I did not always understand what they were talking about when it came to building; but, they understood each other and worked well together. And that is what has stayed with me over time. He was always Mr. Gutsche to me given my respect for him. Ray, old friend, I am sorry for your loss. Barry
