My condolences to the family. I am sorry to hear about this great loss but at the same time, I know Uncle Raymond is in a much better place. Yes, Uncle Raymond will truly be missed. I will miss those warm days when I am turning into my parents’ house just across the road from his house and I glance over to see him sitting in the yard and toot my horn at him. I remember growing up as a child when he and Aunt Theola would go to Town every Friday and I would be right there with them. I remember for years hearing the car door shut faithfully, that would be his ride picking him up at the end of the driveway and him heading to work. Many of us have a lot of good memories of Uncle Raymond and through these he lives on. God Bless.
