Many of you reading this already know, my grandfather Ray Maddock passed yesterday. I got to spend some time with him during his last days and helped my Mom go through his stuff. Lots of memories. I was very fortunate to have had my Grandfather around this long.
He taught me many things and we shared many laughs together.
I'll miss him very much.

Dear Chris and Family,
We are very sorry to hear the loss of your grandfather. We have fond memories of him and pleased that he kept in touch with us through the years. He enjoyed life and would proudly write us about his loving family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks Michele and Ralph. Ray was always one to keep in touch with people. He was a prolific letter writer, it always amazed me.
