It is so tragic to lose someone before they lived their life to the full.although it sounds like Raymond packed a full life in 52 years.
Hopefully you can take comfort from the fact that God promises to do away with all tears and suffering
Revelation 21:3,4

Raymond definately was one of a kind ..he always was smiling telling a story everytime i seen him.Raymond definately lived life on rays terms ...old north dayton wont be the same when i come thru and dont see ray...until we meet again rest up my friend

I Miss Seeing You Raymond. . I Miss The Charasmatic Sense of humor. .You & Only You Had... I Love You. .& Will Always Miss You. .

I remember Ray always coming in my work with the biggest smile on his face and always putting a shirt on since he never had one on he would always make a point to ask me how everything was going and how I was doing and when he left he always said stay safe girl he will be truly missed

The thought of you gone is unreal! You was one of the strongest guys I know. The way your survival mode kicked in with any situation, I never thought I would hear of this day. Prayers for the family! I love you all.

Raymond was definitely one of a kind and a great person. I've known him my entire life and we shared some great childhood memories. His smile and sound of his laugh will never be forgotten. I send my love to all his kids, grandkids and sister's. Prayers for strength to get you at peace during this difficult time. Raymond will always be loved and missed here in O.N.D. ! Rest Easy my friend until we meet again.
