Not sure what to say?

Will surely miss Raymond.

Raymond was my first little league baseball coach. I remember him being patient and kind, traits that make great husbands and fathers. I'm sure his crown will have many jewels. May he rest in peace with our Lord and Savior.

I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for all of the family.

Mrs. Gwin and family, please accept our deepest condolences at this time. We always enjoyed spending time with Mr. Raymond when he made his famous hush puppies( hundreds of them) during our fundraising fish fries at FUMC. We also enjoyed his fishing stories of he and Mr. Jimmy Lawson catching a boat full on their many trips. May Our Lord Jesus Christ help you all through the toughest of times, and know he will be truly missed by all who knew him. God bless you all.

I am so glad I got to see Uncle Raymond on Sunday. And It was so good to catch up with Natalie and Rusty. I will never forget what he said to me when I was telling him goodbye. He was something else. Mama and him will fishing all the time now. Aunt Gwin he was a very special Uncle and he loved you dearly.
Prayers to you and the family all my love Martha

I'll always remember Raymond for welcoming us to the neighborhood when we first moved here in 1984. Also for heading up the project of getting county water installed on our street. He was a good friend and neighbor.
