I only saw Raymond when I was too little to remember him so I don't have beautiful heartwarming stories to tell but I remember before he passed away I would ALWAYS ask my dad if I could meet him my dad just always said "I'm working on it baby.". My dad is his brother, Charles Mitchell, yeah Raymond was my uncle. My dad was on the phone with him before he passed, Raymond had a job to do at the moment so he was going to call back when he was done. Sure enough a couple minutes later my dad got a call saying he was dead. We need to try our best even though its hard not to greive hes in a better place now. Hes with god.

I was recently traveling on I-5 when I saw the memorial for Raymond. I decided to look him up and was so deeply moved by everything I read about this
wonderful person. I so wanted to extend my deepest, heartfelt sympathy to everyone fortunate enough to have known and loved him. He was so obviously cherished and had such a positive affect on so many people. I know what a difficult time that was for the drivers and everyone close. I also know that Christ is with Raymond, and you'll all be together again forever one day. Please press forward using the promise of the future to buoy you, and the good memories of the past to enrich you. And never forget there are so many keeping you and Raymond deep in their hearts and prayers.
