Many of our dear friends were there! That's what made the party so special. Don't have pictures of everyone who attended. Of course Kevin, Michele, Leanne, Micaela and Bethany were there and they worked so hard on planning and setting up everything. We were so grateful to them for all their help in making it a big surprise and a lot of fun. Ray's brother, Gale, and his wife Diane were there also. Then our friends, Danny and Gloria Mendoza, Chris Gilli, Betty Davis, Hank and Cindy Cronin were there. Other relatives included Steve, Cecilia and Katie Louderback and our niece, Cheri and her husband, Ron Rios and our nephew, Ronnie also attended. Our grandson, Derek and his friend, Dana came up from Huntington Beach and we were glad they could make it.
Our son-in-law, Kevin barbecued hot dogs and Bratwurst and there were baked beans, potato salad, chips and dip, fruit salad and, of course, yummy cake for dessert. The candles on the cake were promptly blown out by the honoree! Ray received many sweet gifts including Dodger baseball tickets, Macy's gift cards, gift certificate for Coco's, a Dodger clock for the patio and even a DVD of the last reunion of his school Class of 61 which he was unable to attend! It was a wonderful birthday party and one that will be remembered for quite a while!
Here are some pictures.
I'm trying to leave a comment to see if it works.
