Raymond Joaquin Mercado

Although it has been a year, your light continues to make the world a better place. Thank you Ray.

Our familysends our condolences to Ray's family. We met Ray much later in his life - while he was a resident receiving care. Ray's personality, intelligence and caring nature were not diminished. Ray always reached out to chat. His gentle soul was present and he shared this gift with his fellow residents; including my father. We are thankful to have met Ray. Peace to Ray and to his family.

I’ll always remember Ray’s incredible sense of humor and particularly our friendly rivalry. Our condolences to you Debbi and your family.

I hired Ray shortly after he became a lawyer and we worked together for more than 15 years. Ray was a great guy, loved by everyone at the bank. His failing health after receiving his Parkinson's diagnosis was very sad, but it did not affect his terrific attitude. No one was friendlier and it was great to be his friend.

Condolences to the family on your loss. I worked with Ray at Home Fed and he was a quality guy.

To Raymond’s family: I attended Our Lady of Angels Grammar School in the mid 50’s. Raymond & I were in the same class in the 7th & 8th grade. Raymond was very popular in school. After 8th grade graduation, we all took different paths for high school, college & personal lives. The next time, I saw Raymond was about 14 years ago (50 yrs later) at a luncheon reunion from the OLA ‘55 yr graduates. We all reminisced. Raymond was very soft spoken , gracious & a great listener. About 5 yrs later,...

Dear Family of Ray: Raymond and I were great friends in our first year of law school at USD. I have very fond memories of him and how much he added to the culture of our class. We remained friends throughout our years at USD. I am so glad I knew him and that we got through those tough years as buddies. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Ray was with us for our Freshman and Sophomore years at St. Augustine HS. Last year he rejoined us for our 60th Reunion. On behalf of all his Brothers in the Class of '59, Rest In Peace dear Brother. Bob Medlock - Indianapolis
