Raymond was truly a master of all trades. He would never shy away from a task, and nothing made him more excited than a new challenge. Whether it was laying tile, a project fixing up the house, or even coaching a soccer team: he always found a way to do it and how to do it well. He had an immense love for the outdoors and would spend all day outside if you let him. Raymond found beauty in even the littlest of things and enjoyed collecting items such as lighters, coins, and radios. He loved cheering on the Spurs, Red Sox, and Longhorns. Above all else, Raymond's favorite thing to do was spending time with friends and family. His company was always a joy for everyone around and all the wonderful memories he created will remain in our hearts forever.
