Ray was a great man. He loved his family and loved life. He was a generous, honest man. You could always count on him to make you smile with his quick wit. Trevor Gammon(great-great nephew) admired him greatly and loved his stories. He says he is happy now with his mom, dad, brothers (his papa) sisters, and his Nanny Ruby in heaven. Heaven has another wonderful angel to look after us all. We are sure he is making them all laugh! Andy, Doug and Dot our prayers are with you. Please keep in touch.

Sorry to learn of Mr. Gammon's passing. I have known Mr. Gammon for fourty-two years. At age sixteen, my cars transmission needed repair, Mr. Gammon treated me with respect and was honest with the repair charges. Over the years I've had other cars in his shop, same honest and fair treatment. May God be with Mr. Gammon's family during this difficult time.

Mrs. Gammon and Family,
I am shocked to see Raymond's passing in the obituaries this morning. I know your family has had a difficult time during the holidays. My parents thought the world of the Gammons and especially Ray and Gary. I'm just so sorry you have to go through all of this. I will be thinking of you and praying for you during this difficult time. I know you can be proud of him and his accomplishments.
With love,
