Life story
Ray Romito was a skilled machinist and high-powered engine builder with a unique background in nuclear engineering. He was married to the love of his life, his wife Dana, for 41 years. He was a proud father to 3 children and 2 granddaughters. Ray built engines, but he also built a strong family unit and countless friendships over his lifetime. He is missed by many and is remembered for his "Rayisms", his heated conversations over meals at Denny's, and his overall zest for life and learning.
