To the Haines Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Growing up with Ray and my brother Eddy was more than interesting. I have many fond and funny memories. Ray was a beautiful person. When I think of him I will always smile.

My husband and I met Ray thru his brother Tom, who I've known for many years, and is like a brother to me and a best friend. I remember first meeting Ray; he was so easy going and likeable an I grew to care for him very deeply. He told us all about his children and how much he loved them. When I would call Tommy, Ray would answer the phone and he would always take the time to ask how Tony and I were doing. He had a unique personality about himself that anyone who met him, like him. He touched our lives and made our life better for it. Tony and I will miss Ray a lot. Our love and prayers are with Tommy and his family, hoping that the Lord will give them the comfort and strength to get them through this terrible loss and sorrow. I will keep my holy candle lit for Ray, Tommy and the whole Haines family and extended family. Love and Friendship Always, Tony and Karen.

We will miss Uncle Ray and are so glad that the kids got a chance to get to know him. Both Uncles Tom and Ray have been an important part of their lives, a good part, filled with many happy memories of their trips to New Jersey. Love you and praying for the Haines family.

Pete and I were sad to hear about Buddy. You are all in our prayers and hope as time goes by the pain gets less. I still remember Buddy coming over to Randolph sometimes to see Grandma Wright. Buddy always called her Grams not Grandma funny how you remember the little things. I also took my mom one time up to Honesdale and stayed a few days had a great time with everyone hang in their Larry and Pete.
