Ray was one of the nicest people I've met in the past 30 years in Fort Collins.  He seemed to know everyone that came in and added excitement to each persons's day.  When I would come into the Deli Works he would say ""Uff-da, the son of Thor is here!""  We had very many talks about our common Swedish heritage. I know Ray is missed.

Dad, you always made the effort to remember names. A good laugh when you slurred them because you weren't certain... 
You would fill communication voids with gestures and laughter! It worked when you attempted Swedish in our travels with you there. 
I'm grateful to have been with you visiting your ancestral home.  Walking through Gosta's ancient apple orchard, dancing to folk music, the school house, the cemetery, the church.
I'm sorry that your last years of life were so challenging--that you did not have the familiarity and comforts of your own home then.
Even in your last weeks of life, you'd remember the names of aids and nurses, social workers and doctors. You'd thank them and you'd tell them, ""Drive carefully.""
When you couldn't swallow, it was your garbled speech that bothered you most. 
I hope  your soul can greet the unknown with the same gregarious curiosity in your new home.
I love you and miss you, Dad.

To the Family of Ray Alman, I remember working for your dad at A&W in Watseka!  He taught me a lot about work ethics.  I still remember the night my husband David and I took our 4 children in the Deliworks for the first time!  I will cherish the memories of going there with my family.  May the memories of your father help you through the days ahead.  He will be missed by all!  Love and prayers, Margo and family

Ray,
You were like a second father to me in the years I knew you... around 40 years since we first met. I'm glad I was able to see you last Fall and give you one last hug. Your love of people and love of life endeared you to many other friends and strangers that became friends. Thank you for allowing me to part of your family for a few years. Until we meet again...
~Love Mike

What a great man, who gave Fort Collins not only a great place for lunch but left the city with wonderful children and grandchildren. We were all blessed to know you. Fort Collins has lost two true treasures Mary Ann, and now Ray. May God comfort all in your family.

Hey Dad, I still have my tiny kins you gave me when I was 6 years old (the Hanna Barbera ones).  They are so cute.  Pixie and Dixie, Fred Flintstone, Yogi Bear, Pink Panther.  I could go on.  The only one I traded was Huckleberry Hound with a friend who collected tiny kins.  Guess which one I have instead now?  When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. Anything your heart desires will come to you.  If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme.  When you wish upon a star as dreamers do.  Love, Lauren  See you in my dreams Dad..give Mom a kiss.  We will indeed meet again.  I love you both.
