Abington High School (Class of 1979) and Roslyn childhood friend and teammate Gene Mancini Rest in Peace. You have been a great friend to many of us and you will be missed!

I do not know any details but will post them as I become aware.

From Rich Novack:

In following up on my last post I wanted to let folks know that there are two Memorial Services planned for Ray Croce.

The first in on June 17th, 11am, at St Brigid Catholic Church which is located at 3400 Old Alabama Rd, Johns Creek, GA. The service will be held in the chapel.

The second service will be held on Saturday June 25th, 11am, at the North Hills Country Club 99 Station Ave, Glenside, PA.

I’m sharing a post from my friend Rich Novack:

“I am here on FB to let friends and friends of friends who knew him know that last Wednesday evening my friend of 49 years, Ray Croce, passed away. Ray will always be remembered as a loving and devoted family man; wonderful Husband and Father. He was a great friend and the stories I could share go back to when I was 11 years old and first met Ray in the sixth grade at Overlook Elementary.

I have been and remain in touch with his wife and will keep you updated on details surrounding a Memorial Service.

My condolences to those who are hearing about it for the first time via this posting.

Rich”

It is my understanding that there will be a Memorial Service in the Abington area. No details yet but I will keep you updated.

Fly high with the Angels Ray until we see each other again my friend!

A wonderful Man passed today - Irv Reynolds, Father of Eric Reynolds. Please keep the Reynolds Family in your thoughts and prayers!
