To Fr. Kenneth and the Benedictine Community,
I was fortunate to have Fr. Raymond as a teacher at Benedictine many years ago. His teaching skills in and out of the classroom enriched many lives. His unique presentation of "The Bells" and "The Raven" are seared in my memory. I was grateful to have been in Fr. Kenneth's and his company at the Murphy household about two years ago while they were vacationing. It was nice to see him in such great spirits.
What a great gift he was to us all. My thoughts, prayers and memories are with all of you.

I knew Father Raymond from 1958 to 1973. He taught me at Benedictine High School from 1969 to 1973. He was a very fine man, and an excellent teacher. All of my family knew him and though likewise. May he rest in peace.

Father Raymond taught me from 1955 to 1959 and he was a good but strick teacher. He handled us with the fairness that we deserved but we didn't always agree with. John Winders BC 59

What a blessing it has been for our family to have known Father Raymond! The hospitality he showed us since we arrived here from Maine was so welcoming and full of love. I am so confident that Father Raymond is in heaven that I will "pray to him for his intercession". What an instrument he was in portraying our Lord's pure love! Our deepest sympathy to Father Kenneth and all the Monks at Belmont Abbey.
With Love,
Theresa Martin and family

Several months ago I met Father Raymond in the ED at Gaston Memorial. We only had a very short time together, but during that time I was able to get to know a small part of him. I found him to be very inspirational and will always remember him. My condolences are to the Monks of Belmont Abbey and the Geyer family.

My condolences to the Geyer family and the Monks of Belmont Abbey.
Fr. Raymond was a friend of my husband, Ben, and I when he was stationed at Sacred Heart Churcin Savannah, Ga. He married us there in October 1951. He was a special person in our lives.

Our family will always have fond memories of Fr. Raymond as he married us in St. Michael Church and baptized our first child there. Fr. Raymond was a good, loving and caring man.

My wife and I will remember Father Raymond in the masses that we attend through August. Father taught me at Benedictine and he married us in Sacred Heart Church. We celebrate his wonderful life in the priesthood.
