I am saddened to hear of Raymond's passing. He left a lot of memories with so many--especially me. I always looked forward to seeing him when I was home to spend time with Mom. All of you will be in my prayers. Jean Becker Holman

Raymond will be missed. He has been in all of our lives since before I was here. The Canasta games on Sunday nights, always a fixture at Church and you'd expect that he'd be here forever. Love to all the family.

I have special memories of Raymond from helping him at Butterfield Retirement Home. He was ALWAYS pleasant, friendly and visited w/many people where he lived. He would always tell me to "Behave yourself" or "Be good". I count it a blessing and privilege that I was a small part of his life and look forward to seeing him in Heaven someday.
