Raymond was a neighbor when I lived in Blandon back in the late 1960's early 1970's. He always had a smile and great sense of humor. Great guy!!!

Raymond was a next-door neighbor when my husband and I lived in Blandon. He was always pleasant and friendly.

Ray~ The most authentically kind soul, always with a smile, taking the time to stop and talk to me from my earliest childhood memories at Church to walking past my house at lunchtime what seems like yesterday. I am so deeply saddened the world has lost a such a great light and voice.

With deepest sympathy,
