Edwin Raynor

Wow,
Thank you all so much for all of your comments. I just wanted you all to know that he was more than my dad he was my pillar, and my friend. I miss him so much....

To Pam Raynor,

Thank you so much for alerting my children to the emergency situation so that they were able to see their grandfather before he died. Please contact me when you can so we can catch up on things. Your faithful prayers and love through the years with the Raynor family will stand as a testimony to your devotion to them as well as to your strong faith in Jesus who loves us all and desires us to have a personal relationship with Him. I enjoyed being your prayer partner...

I am so sorry for your loss. My grandfather, Tom, often spoke of his little brother Eddie when I was growing up. I visited Eddie several years ago along with my grandmother, Tres. Spending the afternoon with him brought back a lot of memories of Tom - they were so similar, with such big hearts. It brings a smile to my face knowing that there are a lot of lucky kids to have had Eddie as their grandfather. Blessings.

I spent twenty years being married to Tom Raynor and a member of the Raynor family. There were so many exciting holiday gatherings, birthday parties for the kids and summer campouts. Ed Raynor, king of the roost, was the wise leader and provided much insight and support to me in his own way. Despite not having seen him for several years, I thought of him and Lorena often and prayed for the family as I continue to do. We named our daughter Lorena and I have always felt blessed that she...

Eddie was a larger-than-life character who made a big impression and will be greatly missed. I remember picnics at Bay Mills park on Muskegon Lake with Eddie and Lorena and all the kids, and riding the big waves in Lake Michigan in Eddie's boat. We are thinking about your family and are so sorry for your loss.
