Not sure what to say?

I was shocked to hear of Raymond’s passing today. I last saw him in August 24th 2011 the day of the earthquake and we spoke of a while about the usual stuff. Kurt and family wish our sincere condolences to the Swavely family. I will miss Raymond very much. Who is going to buy me lunch and give me jokes when I come to provide IT support service at the office? Raymond you will be greatly missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers and may God bless you and your family.

Sincerely

To the Swavely.
We will truly miss Ray...He was always telling jokes, making everybody laugh and trying to get my 2 boys to finish up those Donuts!! Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time and always!

Dear Richard and Family, We were so saddened and shocked to hear of your Dad's passing last week. We, along with everyone else, were unprepared for what happened. In a way we thought that Swave would be with us always. Tax season, football season and everyday life just won't be the same. The world has become a little colder without Swave. Swave was the spiritual advisor, the guru, someone we all could go to when we needed an answer. Swave always had an answer and let us know, whether we liked...

Ray became a good friend through the years. He was wonderful to me and also mentoring my son,so that he could start a business and someday buy a home. I valued his opions and advice. We met over 10 years ago, as he was recommended by two friends as a terrific accountant that was smart and fair. I liked him immediately. He had a great mind and memory and a terrific sense of humor. Everyone who walked in through his door was greeted like an old friend. He demonstrated real care and...

When God made Ray he broke the mold. I have never in my life met a man such as him and doubt I ever will again. He was my mentor. He believed in me and that's just the beginning. I never tired of hearing his stories of the many years of his life and the things he'd heard or experienced. He was smart and practical and always willing to help, especially the little guy and the misfortunate. He never forgot the struggles he endured in his younger days and did what he could to help those who were...

Most people would question why I would drive two hours to get my taxes done. It didn't really matter if I paid Uncle Sam or not.......I always enjoyed the yearly trip to Delaware.

My condolences to family and friends.

I just learned of Ray's passing; shocking since I spoke to him on the phone only last week. I am sorry for the loss to your family, but your memories of him, his knowlege, drive, and sense of humor will be a blessing forever.

Ray was more than the person who helped me with my taxes. When I was just out of the service he is the one that guided me back to college and helped me get my life back on track. He was a wonderful person. I will really miss him.

Tricia and family,
Sorry to hear of your father's passing my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,
