Sorry to hear of Raymond's passing. He was a fixture in everyone's heart that had the pleasure of meeting him. Our prayers for him and his family.

Alfonso Martinez and family

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To my second parents, Alice and Dave,

We are so sad to hear of Bootsie's passing. It was always fun to hear his stories and all the laughs. May all the memories of him bring you comfort.

May God wrap his arms around the family and receive Uncle Bootsie in his blessed hands.

Que Dios los bendiga hoy y siempre.

Raymond Zapien was a gift to all who knew him, he was an innocent. Unblemished by the judgements and cynicism that most of us acquire through the years. Raymond always found the goodness that each of us are born with, but guard with fear of judgement. 
He taught us unconditional love. Extending it to all who were open to receive. Raymond was God's smile, his touch, his way of reaching out to us here on earth. His was a life that knew many challenges. But had undeniable faith, determination and fortitude. 
Raymond was a blessing and I count myself as one of those who's life is the better for having the priviledge of knowning him.
Thank you for the lessons Uncle Raymond, I love you.
