We are so sorry for the passing of
Raymond Taylor. Both Walter (Bucky) and I knew him well through our church family as well as the many years he was employed at Goggin's IGA. Raymond took great pride in ringing the bell at the Randolph United Methodist Church each Sunday AM, 10:30 sharp! Raymond will be missed! May he rest in Peace!

Our family will miss his presence at the Randolph church each Sunday and his presence at Goggins on most any other day, when we are in Maine.

Although I did not know you very well, but the thought of you being gone is hard to take. You are at peace now with our LORD. Rest peacefully in HIS loving arms.
