Helene and Ray were two of the first people I met when I started at Co-op grocery store at 15 years old, almost 45 years ago now. Helene with her kind view, and Ray with his dry sense of humour. I looked up to the both of them and think of them often. I will always remember Helene fondly. My condolences, and it would be nice to see Ray again.
Sending my sincere Condolences
