In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Raymond's name to a charity close to his heart, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Illinois.
 
Ray was a great friend to many; a simple, hard working man of inner strength and persistent faith who chose his words carefully. He was a baseball aficionado and was especially devoted to the Cubs. A music lover from an early age; he enjoyed many concerts, often snagging front row seats and traveling to Vegas to see his favorite performer of all time, Elvis Presley.

Sending much love to the family....the love he had of family was always something that I respected. He had a way of making you feel like you were the only person around when we talked at family gatherings. He always had a smile, loving comments and hugs and it was always a joy to be around him. The Cubs will miss a huge fan for sure. There will be much celebration in heaven with family and friends who will be so happy to welcome him Home......Rest easy Uncle Ray, you are already missed.....

I was thinking that each time we cruised down 63rd and got a dollar we could have retired at 30. I am going to miss you, but good times plus good friends equal wonderful memories
