RAYMOND TELLES Obituary

Our beloved Raymond Telles, born in El Paso on December 28, 1939, died peacefully ending his long struggle with Alzheimer's on March 15, 2015. He is preceded in death by his father Joe I. Telles. He is survived by his wife of 45 years Cecilia R. Telles, his mother Esperanza Telles, and his three children Clarissa Telles, Raymond L.

Shore (Christopher); and many grandnieces and grandnephews. Raymond was a real estate broker and owner of Raymond Telles Bail Bonds. He served in the Marines in the 19th Rifle Company USMCR. Raymond used his talents at carpentry and contracting to buy and flip homes. He was a man of quick wit and mischievous sense of humor, whose passions and interests were varied and diverse. He enjoyed sports, especially basketball, football, fishing and bullfights and loved traveling to Long Beach for Indy car races. Raymond was an avid reader and also a follower of local and national politics. He loved animals and they loved him back. A sociable person, Raymond always enjoyed the company of his family, friends and neighbors. He will be deeply missed, never forgotten, and always loved!

Raymond was a marvelous childhood friend of mine and neighbor since we lived close by and we used to pal around swimming at the Catholic Community Center during the time we went to EPHS together. After HS, we lost contact as many good friends often do: - he going to the Marines and I going to the Peace Corps then to college and grad school in California and eventually residing in Massachusetts for 35 years and now retired in New Mexico. I will fondly remember his dry wit and kind demeanor, never tearing down anyone and all his family's hospitality when I was a kid.
My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss.

Raymond's brother, Rudy was a High School friend. God be with you Rudy & all Raymond's family at this time. He will be missed, but in your hearts, the memories will always be there. God bless you all, Nancy (Whitus) Kurbat
