I had the pleasure of meeting Raymond a couple of years ago at my Mothers where he and Joel were playing music. He had such a beautiful voice . He was a dear friend that I miss each day . Bea if I can do anything to help you let me know . Seth and Lara If either of you need me for anything let me know . He was one of a kind and loved by everyone who met him . Remember all your good times with him ......That will help ease the pain.

I am so sorry to hear that Raymond has passed away. I have many fond memories of Hymie. We rode together to Y-12 when he was an apprentice carpenter. Hymie was always thinking of other people. Once he told me to lay him off first before laying off someone with young children. He was a very, very good man. I know he's singing with the angels in heaven right now.

A group of four or five of us have known and worked with Hymie for over twenty eight years. We came thru the carpenter apprentice program together, and worked on several jobs together. During that time we have shared some good times, playing practical jokes on each other, fishing,and watching our children become young adults. It's hard to believe Hymie is gone, but I know he is in a better place. Our thoughts and prayes go out to Hymie's family is this time of need.

Sonja and I are heartbroken to lose a wonderful young man who always seemed a part of our family. We remember vividly the many times Raymond and Joel played southern rock music on our back patio. We always tried to see them perform whenever possible. Raymond is now using his wonderful voice another way. He was loved as one of our own.
