“It feels like I’ve known Ray forever, and I have admired him every step of the way. What a loss, but what a blessing, not just to have known him, but to have served with him in times of war and times of peace.
“And whenever, or wherever, veterans were being honored and recognized in the First State, Ray Firmani was there as a living reminder of the debt of gratitude we owe to the men and women who have made it possible for America to continue to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
“Rest in peace, my friend. Rest in peace.“
