Raymond F. Perrault

This was a sad week for the Perrault family.  We gathered together this weekend to say goodbye to and celebrate the life of my Grandfather, Ray.  To me, he was Bapa.  Bapa always had a way of making anyone laugh and smile.  You always braced yourself when you walked by or sat next to him, because you knew you were going to get your knee grabbed, tickled, your ponytail tugged on, your head pat, or spooked by what I can only describe as his Daffy Duck voice.  He taught me how to play cribbage, but for some reason I could never beat him, so I think he left out the "How to win" part on purpose.  I cherish the memories that I have camping, fishing, swimming at the lake, and losing at cribbage. 

Bapa, you will be dearly missed, and I am going to miss hearing you say, "My pretty, pretty girl".  I am fortunate that Patrick had the opportunity to meet you!  I love you very much!
