I miss you so much! Even though we argued a lot & it seemed like we were so different, we were very alike. I know that you loved me and the kids tremendously and they miss you too! Words do no justice to how I feel right now, but I love you!
I only met you a few times but the talks we had were always insightful and I always laughed and learned alot. From what your daughter always mentioned to me and from what the little time I spent with you you are a great man and will be dearly missed. My sympathies go out to your family in this time of sorrow and I wish I could be there to say goodbye but your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I remember your stubborn self! You were always sooo stubborn and so wonderfully funny and silly. You were like a father to me-no wait you were my father. You welcomed me into your family and loved me and protected me much like you did with Jennifer. You will always have a place in my heart. I love you tremendously! You will be missed!
I never had the pleasure of meeting Raymond, but from what my sister Judylynn (wife of Raymond's brother Ted)tells me, Raymond was a great man . Very kind & thoughtful. He liked to make people laugh, and he loved to cook.I Pray that he is now at Peace with the Lord.
Ray will always be in my heart and soul. I will miss him so so much. Especially how he always made me laugh!
So long for now but not forever, as one day our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same but GOD calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Ray was like a father to me at a time where my life was turbulant and chaotic. While our time together was short it was meaningful and gave me some happy times when I needed it most. Ray was always full of life and loved his family. I would like him to know I love him too. Life has a script written for everyone and Ray's was written in gold.
