Happy 55th Birthday, my darling Raymond...........Forever in my heart!

Happy Birthday daddy I love you!

                       Love your, Baby girl

I miss you daddy with all my heart and not a day goes by that I dont think about you and wish you were still here. Its been along time since I heard your voice or seen your smile I would give anything in the world to see you again. I wish you never left me there is times I get really angry at you but I know I will see you again. I hope your proud of me cause i sure am trying. I love you!

One of the greatest people/musician/drummer ever…..absolutely hilarious always but not a fool

after Ray was disgusted by Buddy Rich's attitude shamed him into kicking down an autograph after he refused…one of many many stories

My dear Raymond-the images of your life will forever be embedded in my mind. Even now I can hear your laughter and remember vividly your humor as you could make even the most impossible person laugh. You were the most awesome musician-there wasn't an instrument you couldn't play and you were always creating songs to describe how you felt about your children. We will always miss you!
