I Remember Raymond and Joe Falci from St. Joseph's School and Church. I grew up living on Emerald Street. I also remember the Family's Gas Station on Park Street. Those were the "Good Old Days". I would visit my Grandmother, Anna Cardarella in the Greenbush, on Milton Street. My Condolences to Ray's Wife, Children and other Relatives.

Sara and family I am sorry for your loss. Ray was a great person to have fun with. While it is 40 years ago..I loved playing softball on the J&R Auto softball team.

When my mom told me today that Ray had died, I asked her why Ray and Joe are so vivid in my childhood memories. Did we have crappy cars, or was it just because they were such nice guys? She replied that we got gas there, had crappy cars, and they were very nice people. I loved the Noah's Ark and animals I got from Falci's when I was a kid. When I was older, and inherited my grandma's Pinto, Ray and Joe took care of it, and fixed it after it had an engine fire. I'm sure you know what a wonderful person Ray was, but just wanted to let you know that he and Joe touched a lot of lives, and people still think very fondly of them.
