07/15/25 Funeral

 Tuesday, July 15, we gathered to honor my father. We had a really good gathering. Many of his ward members and dance people attended. In addition, we had us (Becky, Ruth & I), our spouses, our kids and our grandkids. A zoom link was shared so there were some people that were able to attend remotely as well.  It was a warm sunny day and everything went really well.  Life Sketch for Raymond George Laurito Delivered by Shelly Griffin, Rebecca Chase & Ruth Laurito Good morning everyone, Thank you for being here today to honor the life of our father, Raymond George Laurito—a man of quiet strength, humble intellect, and unwavering kindness.

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )
