He and his wife Charlotte raised three children, Phyllis, Ray, and Katie to whom he passed along his love and faith and sense of humor.He sacrificed his own interest in that of his family. He held a deep passion for his work as a physical therapist, an occupation that brought him a great sense of personal satisfaction. He loved helping others in their physical recovery from injuries and surgery. He helped them laugh their way through the pain of recovery. He actively treated patients until his 80th birthday. He told stories to everyone he met, some of which were true, most of which were humorous at his own expense. He never hesitated to tell the same story twice.He loved sports since the days of his youth.

He loved watching his children and later his grandchildren following in his own athletic footsteps.Raymond enjoyed himself and gladly accepted as a precious gift, each and every day of life he was given. He treated each person he met with kindness and was always quick with a smile, a joke and a laugh. He never made an enemy and never forgot a friend. In his life, he brought comfort to those who suffered, he brought smiles to everyone he met, and in his passing he leaves nothing but fond memories and many stories told by a man who simply loved his life and loved the Lord.He will be missed by all that knew him.
