Jen & Family, Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Delores, our deepest sympathy to you and all of your children & grandchildren. George really enjoyed playing drums with Raynold a few times. I also remember babysitting for you when there were only 2 children! Hopefully the fond memories you share will comfort you & your family during this sad time.
Thinking of you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers
So very sorry for your loss Aunt Delores and family. Uncle Raynold was always such a big part of our trips to Nebraska growing up. Please send our condolences to your entire family
Ray was always a pleasure to be around. He was always kind and had great things to say. He will be missed by all. Musically yours, Randy Skarka Spanem Boheme
I always enjoyed sitting down and shooting the breeze with Grandpa Woita. He would attend my sporting events when I grew up and never missed a big occasion like graduations or First Communions. I’ll always be proud of my roots to that little farm in rural Nebraska. I love you and miss you Grandpa.
Tim
Dear Delores and Family,
I was sorry to read in the Wahoo Newspaper recently that Ray passed away. You have my deepest sympathy. He sounds like a very kind and interesting man. And he was in the Polka Hall of Fame! Wish I could have known him!!
