Raymond was truly my favorite brother-in-law. He was always fun to be around and I really appreciated his loving care of our Mother. He claimed to have married my sister, Leora, so that he would have her for a Mother-in-law. Leora and Ray took Mother to many places she would never have been able to go, and she was thrilled by all of them and greatly appreciated his loving care of her. Elaine J. Long, Lee's Summit, MO.

I will miss my Uncle Ray dearly. He was a big man with a big heart. I loved teasing him and continued to say "O No Not You Again " everytime I saw him. I think it was our line to share with each other lovingly. Jody and Howard Wood
