I will cherish most the times on Orient Street when I was small all of us Family and friend as many as we could fit into that house celebrating our life with Gama and Grandpa because with out them we never happened. Kids all over up in the attic and adults in the kitchen laughing so loud you could here it on Division or Bleaker. We all had great times every year.

Grampa Raymond was not a rich man in terms of money. He was a very rich man with respect to family and tradition. I am extremely proud to be a part of him and his legacy. To one measure or another, all who can trace there roots to him, (in the immortal words of Arlo Guthrie), rode his, "magic carpet made of steel". He was a treasure and will be sorely missed.

Gramp, I owe alot to where I am in life because of you and Gram and I know I share that grace and charity that you both exemplified. I will always remember you as a guy who's actions spoke louder than his words and who cherished each and every one of us regardless...It is never easy to comprehend death and it's finality but your reward has come. Trust that your spirit and name will live on in us and our childrens children. Say Hi to everyone up there and see if you can build another 69 Orient street for the party when we arrive.
Love and Respect always!

"Grandpa". "Papa Choo Choo". "Dad". "The Old Man". You had as many names and nicknames as you had children, grandchildren, and space in your heart for all of us. There are truly no words to express how lucky we all feel to have shared in your life, your laughter, and silliness! We will miss you, Grampy, as you drive the train to your final resting place in the sky.
Love you,
"Me-Meghan"

My dad's dad.....I will miss you as much as I miss Gram. You were the maker of our family. I am proud to be one of your grandchildren, proud to have your name. I have so many great memories of visiting the big house up on the hill. Sunday mornings with everyone talking and laughing sitting around the kitchen table, with Gram in her rocking chair. Christmas was the best. I can remember how much Gramp loved his dog's, King and Yogi. So many good memories....
