So sorry to hear of Raymond's passing. He was a great guy and a great friend. We always loved his humour. He would quietly say some great one-liners. You had to really be listening in order to catch them... We are so grateful that he came and visited us. Our kids were 2 and 6 at the time. He got a kick out of the little ones and always spent quality time with them. Stay strong and try and find comfort in the memories. He will be missed by many. - Posted by: Lionel and Brenda Sigurdson (Nephew/friend) on: Oct 17, 2014
