John A. Raymond

Uncle Johnny, I am so very sorry I missed saying my goodbyes to the sweetest, loving and fun man that I had the privilege of growing up with. My father Dr. Ruben C. Santos loved Johnny and we were honored to know him. I know those two are having a great time together again! Love you, your Tingsywinks

In loving memory of a such wonderful, loving person. We will love you and miss you always Grandpa. You’ve made such an impact on so many around you, always the voice of reason and the person so many of us strived to be. You taught your grandchildren to remember, you have one life and to always live it to the fullest. Rest in Peace Grandpa. With love, The Twins Jamie and Jillian Raymond

Tia Celia and Family,

My deepest sincere condolences to you and your family. Tio John will always be remember and loved.

Love,
Linda & Abel Gonzales

My Tio my Godfather there are no words to express how great of a man you were. I love you and miss you with all my heart. Thank you for always being there for me telling how proud you were of me. Oh how God always takes the best ones. But I know you’re in a better place in the gates of heaven. They have gained a beautiful and wonderful Angel. I never got to ask you why you gave me that middle name lol I know it was for a reason ❤

We were deeply saddened to hear the lost of our uncle John. He was such a wonderful and kindhearted man. Our condolences to the family. His memories will forever live in our hearts.

To my sister I'm so sorry for your lost my condolences to you and your family. He was fun to be around with always telling me to behave (portate bien). When we would play bingo he would bring us wine and joke around making us laugh. There are many more memories that I will never forget. He will always be in my heart.

Celia my heart goes out to you and your Family. John was one of the most generous and kind-hearted soul I ever met, and I’ll never forget him. Please know that he will live in all of our fond memories, I will never forget us kidding about him being Hercules and getting ready to sign a movie contract.

I've known John for over 65 years, He's been like a Dad to me and guided me threw my years. John and Celia baptisted my two children and has always been a wonderful person. We will miss him and remember him always and forever until we see you again.

Always enjoyed talking to Mr. Raymond. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
God Bless

There are no words for the legacy Mr. Raymond has left on our family. His shining personality will live in our hearts forever. It is difficult for us to understand why he left us so soon. I was honored to be a part of his life as his daughter in law. O'Lord we call upon you in our time of sorrow that you give us the strength and will to bear our heavy burdens until we can again feel the warmth and love of our divine compassion. Be mindful of us and have mercy on us while we struggle to comprehend life's hardship.

To: Aunt Celia and Family, I recalled the few times I saw Uncle John and was amazed at how he looked so much like my Grandpa Tiger. From what I've heard Uncle John was a great man in many ways. I didn't know him personally, but my grandpa would talk very highly of his brother John. My sympathy to each of you.

My sincere condolences to the family. I was introduced to Mr.Raymond by my best friend Jimmy. In those 20 + years we developed a good friendship, we’d talk about a lot of things . I always admired his strong & wise character , & his great sense of humor . I was very blessed to have such a figure in my life , he meant a lot to me . I’m gonna miss our random phone calls . He always gave me advice , was attentive,& just a great person. The last words he told me on our last phone call were “ God Bless You Joe” I’ll carry them with me always. And in return God bless the Raymond family & all those that were blessed to have Mr. Raymond in their lives ❤❤❤

To: Tia Celia and Family
Although no words of sympathy can ease the loss you bear, still may you find comfort in the thought that we care. Please accept our sincere condolences. We were honored and blessed to visit Tio John at home his last few weeks.
