What very sad and surprising news. Raymond was one of my very best friends in high school, a fellow FFA member, and a man who altered the path of my life in a way I have always been thankful for, and never forgotten. It was Raymond who conceived the idea and a plan for getting us out of high school a year early and we were successful and it sent both of us down a path in life I have always been grateful for. Raymond stood with me at my wedding and was such a delightful friend. We had a great reunion over lunch some years ago and caught up on a good part of our lives. I regret I did not stay more in touch with him. My condolences to Iliana and all the family. I would love to share more with you. Jim McConaha, Concord, NH, [email protected].

He'll surely be missed! He's my cousin that I haven't seen in YEARS! We were also classmates at Rich Hill Grade School and Chandlersville H.S. Such a good MAN! My love to the rest of you & may God comfort you.
