Patrick, Amanda & Tommie. We were shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of your Dad. Whenever we spoke to him he seemed like a gentle and kind person and it was easy to see how much he loved his family. We were very pleased, recently, when he wrote down his dinner roll recipe for us. We haven't tried to make them yet, but we will certainly be thinking of him each time we do. You're a special man when you are a pro at making dinner rolls. Please accept our sincere condolences on your loss. Cathy , Donald & Kristine

Sympathy to Raphael's family for your great loss. I remember Raphael when I was a secretary at CRVS and he started teaching there. In later years, whether it was at church with his daughter or in Town, he always had time for a chat. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
