John B Reese

Dear Armbruster Family,
I am very sorry to hear of Ray's death. He was a valuble member of the Launder/Reese team for many years. His skill as a grader operator was extreme. Ray's work is represented on 100's of miles of Ohio highways.
My sympathy to the family.
Sincerely,
John B. Reese
