I am Ray,
now a former Roastmaster, as I
have relinquished that role to
Victor. This will give me more
time to visit with my customers,
work on new products and go
fishing, just kidding. It is so
rewarding to come to work
everyday with such a wonderful
and talented group of people, I
am truly blessed.

Ray and Bea
Johnson
Ray's Parents
|
Then, we
have my Mom and Dad. We could
not have done without their hard
work in the beginning and their
constant support. My dad passed away
in July 2006 at the age of 84. My Mom & Dad
almost made it to their 65th Wedding Anniversary,
how great is that! My dad was always there
for me and supported me from little league to
the "big league" of life. He always told
me that I could do anything I wanted to in my
life and he always believed in me. He
taught me that there is only one way to succeed;
hard work and to treat people the way you want to
be treated. He will always be my foundation
in life. Thank you Dad...
And Mom is till going strong at ?? (she’s not
telling!) She enjoys baking and her love;
oil painting and how beautiful the paintings are!
Love You, Ray
