Harold Randolph "Randy" Raymond 95 passed away on Saturday September 20, 2025 at his home at Rivers Edge in Savannah, Ga. while under the care of Bridge Hospice.
He is survived by his three Daughters, LaRandie R. Holley (Keith), LaJuana R. Cole (Mark) & LaRaine R. DuPuy (Carr). He was blessed to have 6 Grandchildren, Shawn McBride (Dee), Nicole Pingrey (Jordan), Michelle Altman (Kellen), Travis Cole (Christy), MeLissa Hyde (Ray) & Riley DuPuy (Sarah) as well as 9 GreatGrandchildren, Shane McBride, Kainoa Pingrey, Leiluna Pingrey, TK Altman, William Altman, Cole Elmore (Kailee), Aaron Elmore, Will DuPuy & Lottie DuPuy and 3 GreatGreatGrandchildren, Cason, Railee and Colton Elmore.
He is pre-deceased by his wife and high school sweetheart, Joan Surrency Raymond, his wife Betty Raymond, his wife Jeaneane Bishop Raymond and his close friend and companion of many years, Ernestine Kline.
Randy had a big heart and welcomed his step children Karen Spooner (Paul), Charles "Chuck" Bishop, Carolyn McLeod (Glenn) and step Grandchildren Jodi Sheeley, Brooke Bishop and Trace Bishop into his life.
Born in Millen, Ga. on September 17, 1930 to Ruby Lambert Raymond and William Theodore Raymond. As an only child he always joked and said that he was an only child but not the favorite!
He was a very intelligent man with a quick wit that never missed the opportunity to tell a joke and keep people laughing!
Admittedly he did not apply himself in school but did manage to graduate from Savannah High School in 1950 where he participated in boxing and band.
He also received an AB degree from Armstrong State College.
He entered the Navy during the Korean War on 10/14/1950. Stationed in San Diego, CA and assigned to the USS Bottineau. Honorably discharged on 8/16/1954 as a Gunners Mate 2nd class in Norfolk, VA.
On 8/26/1954 he began a 39 year career with Savannah Electric & Power Co. (now known as Southern Co.) at the Riverside Plant and ended his career as the Operations Manager at Plant McIntosh.
Sadly due to his illness, Randy's generous donation of his body to the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta for education & research was unable to be fulfilled.
Fox & Weeks Funeral Home in Savannah will be handling the internment.
Our appreciation to Bridge Hospice, Mrs. Pat Gardner and Home Instead for the excellent care given to him.
Memorial gifts may be given to Bridge Hospice in Pooler, Ga.
