Raymond had a huge heart and loved spending time with his family. You couldn’t help but notice how his bright blue eyes lit up and the smile that over took his smoothly shaven face when anyone of his littles would run up to him, arms wide open and give him a big squeeze. He also enjoyed fishing and barbequing. He loved a good pork steak on the grill. Raymond will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
