Best sodball ump in Rochester!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. Ray was such a fun person to be around. I would always look forward to lunch time because I knew he would be right outside my office waiting for his delivery. He came to every event he could and always made sure he said goodbye before he left. He will be missed by all who knew him. ❤️
