"Ray Lombardi was a wonderful and loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. He was very generous, kind, intelligent and fair to everyone. His smile would light up a room. He would listen and always give good down to earth advice to anyone who asked for it. If someone needed a helping hand, he was always there. At the end of his life here on Earth and being very ill, his strength in the face of his oncoming passing was an example of all that he was in life. God will surely welcome Raymond Lombardi into the Kingdom of Heaven."
