Munding and I grew up together in San Jose, Antique. He visited me here in Dagsboro on Holy Saturday 3 years ago-a 54-year reunion!!. His father was our family doctor, and tia Consuelo was my tia Rosita Tiscar's amiga. Natalie and I are one with you in mourning his passing. I have fond memories of him, his brother Itik, and sisters Teresita and Matilde.

I, too, will miss seeing Ray on his morning walks to the Village and back. Ray was always so kind and was the consummate gentleman. He was especially proud of his kids and grandchildren, and talked about them often. We sure will miss him in the neighborhood. Kathy and Jon Gates
