Ray was an absolutely wonderful man. I had the pleasure of working with him at Brunner HealthCare, nd learned ALOT about basic retail business from him. He was always so kind and insightful. He taught me to always be yourself no matter what anyone thinks of you! We shared many stories and passions for sports and great music…specifically The Rat Pack era of music. I loved listening to his stories about baseball, and growing up back in the days. He truely loved not only Judy but his family. He always talked about his children and grandchildren and how proud he was of them. You will be missed Ray…from everyone here at Brunner HealthCare, rest in peace and God bless your family!!

Dear Matero Family,
I am so sorry for your loss please accept my sincere condolences at this time. Something that i personally have found to be a great source of comfort is the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28,29 where we see that there is going to be a Resurrection of those whom have fallen asleep in death. Also at revelation 21:4 we see that God is going to eliminate all of the causes for why we deal with sorrow, pain and even death itself. it is my sincere hope that these thoughts bring your family comfort at time. Once again I am so sorry for your loss.
