Raymond your face always had a smile on it. I remember the night of my daughters birthday party at Friar Tucks. You made sure you got her a birthday shot, even tho you have never meet my daughters. But your heart was there. You are a man with a heart of gold. You got up and did karaoke. Did a dam good job of it. And that is how I will remember you. I didn't realize that would be the last time I would see you. So thank you for leaving me with great memories of you.You and Tina are together again, take care of each other. Love You.

Raymond touched the life of many people with his laughter and fun out going look on everything he did. He had pride in his job as a tow truck driver, pride in his children and anything his attempted to do. I know our lives in Petaluma have changed since he was taken from us in this untimely manor. Raymond was with us for over 15 years. Our prayers and thoughts go out to his family and children.
