He was born and raised in Jersey City, lived in Elizabeth and Roselle before settling to Manalapan in 1991. Raymond worked as a QA/QC Manager for Minor Rubber in Bloomfield. He enjoyed taking Sunday drives with his kids when they were younger and taking trips to Osborne Island, in the middle of the Manasquan River, on Saturday's on his boat in the summer.
