RAYMOND D. FRANCIS

I am grateful for having had the chance to meet Raymond and and your family. I will miss him. David Levy

Judy - Every time your father entered your salon for a visit, he brightened up the room and made everyone's day with his stories and candy. His love of life and boundless energy was amazing. He was a charming and engaging man.

Dear Aunt Joan, I am sorry for your loss and our loss as a family. Uncle Ray, as your first niece I will miss your wonderful smile, your laughing eyes and contagious humor. I am also sorry due to logistics we didn't get to visit as often as I would've liked. So happy to see you this past fall and spend our last day together...a day I will remember forever. Loving and missing you. Maxine (Bernardo) Borden, Dundee Florida

Dear brother Ray, you know I loved you very much. I was so happy to see you in Nov 2010, but I know you're in Heaven with the Lord and I miss you very much. Love your sister Laura,... Dundee Florida

To Joan and Family,
We were saddened today when we got word of Ray's passing. We have so many good memories of the truly wonderful and sincere man that he was. He never failed to brighten our day with his presence in our lives. He was a true example of the the love of God thru his people. Today, we honor the God in Ray and say thank you for all the love that he spread to us in our lives and he will live forever in our hearts as that example of pure love and joy.

Joan, So sorry to hear about Ray's passing. He was a dynamic personality and I'm sure will be missed greatly in the parish community. You will be in my prayers.

Judy - sincerely sorry for the loss of your father! I only met him a few times, but I could see his charm and the love he had for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers...

Our loss will definitely be Heaven's gain. Remembering the friendly greetings and kind words Ray said to us every time we saw him. We could tell he was so proud and loved his family dearly. We enjoyed watching him dance. He will never be forgotten. Our sympathy to the family. We all will miss him.
Tom, Kathy, Tommy, Joe, and Jeremy Raffay

It's been awhile since I had my cheeks pinched, but the memories will last forever! I will miss your warm, contagious spirit and our family functions won't be the same without our Uncle Ray. Sending all my love and prayers!
