We miss you brother and sincere condolences to the Sipple family.
We have many people in our lives,
family, neighbors and friends.
But no one knows us quite as well as a life-long friend.
Ray was my first friend at age four (best I can remember) and my best friend.
We go back to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with chocolate milk watching cartoons.
Later it was Cub scouts and Boy Scouts. His family was mine and mine his.
Love you always.
