Dear Shawn, Chris and K.C., Am sorry for your loss. Cousin Ray was always full of humor, pranks and the life of the party (or so he thought). I recall attending his little league district playoffs in Waverly when he was 12, something I missed out on two years later due to an injury. I will be at the NWLL All Star District playoffs on Sat, July 9th which only seems appropriate. Ray kept to himself pretty much over the years, so our correspondence lagged in recent years. We did see him and Sandy at Laf-A-Lot on Loon Lake drinking beer and blue whales, recounting old memories a few years ago when he last visited upstate NY. You have a very extended family in all the Dailey cousins. Be grateful and thankful for the times you shared, the positive experiences and know that you have all turned out pretty darn good, if I may say so. A generation is passing, and you will be the ones carrying the torch in the future. Know that I am with you in thought and prayer, not to mention spirit, as you deal with your father's loss. Keep the faith and may God Bless. Much Love, Cuzn Bill Young [email protected]
Ray,
It was an honor having you as a friend. You had a considerable influence in making me a better police officer. I know you're in a better place. Hopefully, you're back with Hans. My favorite quote is from Will Rogers
" If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they go". I miss you.
