Ray Rastelli is stepping back

Caught the tail end but I thought I heard him say at 70 it's time to pull back and hand the reins over. I thought he also said he closed his meat market.

He was very appreciative to everyone for their support over the years. Hugs went around.

He is not closing the market and he will still be there; just not being on air after the two times he has scheduled.

We like his products, and I always enjoy seeing him present them. I hope he makes a few appearances once in a while, and I certainly understand it would be hard to keep up with the schedule he has at QVC.

I wonder if his oldest son will take the reins here.
