Raymond Riley Ashpole 1937-2009

Raymond, Ray, Sonny, Dad, Pop, Papa, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle, Friend

No matter how you addressed him he was like no other. His family was the anchor of his soul. His love was unconditional. His determination to live each day to the fullest was remarkable. He was a true and trusted friend. His life was an example of a life well lived.
He didn't tremble in the storm but faced every day head on. He was the mast that held strong while the rest of us waivered in the wind. We knew his courage was stronger than any all of us could put together. He leaves us with the lessons he taught, not with many words, but by his example.

Pop, we miss you terribly.

Thanks for the tribute. Pop really enjoyed that visit----in fact we all enjoyed the visit.
Love,
