SALVADOR "RAY" FREGOSO

and memorial dates will follow. Arrangements are being handled by Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Cedar Rapids.
Ray shared real life, on the real, shining light on what it's like to be human. He solidified the role of hero, making all the resounding difference. Ray, showed us how to survive a poorly dealt hand and still have courage to seek profit, just as if concealed by the sleeve, the royal is always kept within.
