Raymond was born on January 19, 1943, at home in Loganville, GA. He was a 1961 graduate of South Gwinnett High School. He was a very involved and devoted member of Bethesda United Methodist Church (now known as The Nett at Bethesda). He served on many committees and organized many events for the church, especially the annual fish fry. Those who knew him will all remember the silver crosses he passed out to everyone he ever met. Friends of Carmen and Carl who he was especially worried about perhaps received several crosses. He also loved spending time with his beloved dogs, Stanley and Spud. He was always known for his charisma, charm, good looks, and offbeat sense of humor.
Raymond will be deeply missed by his family and many friends.
