I first met Raymond as I was establishing my business. He was a man of his word and I never had to doubt him. I knew his heart and know he´s in a good place. Hope to see you again someday. It was a joy and a pleasure to have known you.

Some of my first Memories of roho was back in school. Probably elementary or maybe little league football.. I really thought
I was God's gift to football.. little did i know there was this scrawny little kid who put me on the ground almost everytime i ran the ball to his side of the line.. he could not knock your legs out from under you and there was no way to jump over him or go around if he seen you coming. and it made me so mad... so we became best friends and stayed that way thru school.. R.I.P bud i'll see ya down the road..
