Not sure what to say?

My father in law loved building Legos. Here he is helping with my Lego typewriter. Sure will miss him!

Raymond had a major positive impact on Eastern Kentucky. He will be missed.

I have wonderful memories of working with Raymond at Martin County Coal in the early 1980s . He was a great man , focused on his employees well being and safety

On behalf of myself and all our children and grandchildren, Uncle Raymond was such an honorable, kindhearted, and generous man. He made sure to stay connected with our family, especially after the passing of his brother John, our kids´ Grampa B. He meant so much to us all and will be greatly missed. Kristi, Bill and family.

Barb, we are thinking of you and your family. Your dad was a wonderful man who accomplished so much in his life time. He will be missed by many. Love to you. Carol and Freddie

It was an honor and pleasure to meet and spend time with Raymond and Clara. I know Raymond will be missed greatly and those he loves will look forward to being reunited with him one day. Until then we will enjoy the stories and memories of a life very well lived and loved.

Raymond Bradbury was one of the finest gentlemen I ever met. With his wife Clara we all lived at Matthews Glen Retirement Community and Raymond and I shared many conversations, a lot of which involved our favorite sports teams. My sincere sympathy goes to his family and many friends. Rest In Peace Ray..you will be missed. Marion Ratliff - Matthews, NC

It was a true privilege to know Mr. Bradbury. The love and devotion he had for his wife Clara was inspiring. I loved hearing the beautiful stories of their life together. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the Bradbury family during this difficult time.

Prayers of comfort and peace for all who knew and loved him.
