Thursday, August 12, 2021. Raymond whom was known by many names such as, “Cuddles”,

Sweet Baby Ray, Ray Ray and many other infamous names, will be sorely missed by everyone

who had the pleasure of crossing his path. To know Ray, was to love Ray.

He proudly served in the United States Army, Naval Investigative Service, Defense Investigative Service and then retired from serving his country to then proceed working at Reynolds Metals Company where he retired in 1991.

He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Almeria Hucks Graham, a host of brothers and

sisters, and his son-in-laws, William Joseph Parker, Jr. and William Francis Binford Jr.

He is survived by his daughters, Teresa Lynn Parker, Cheryl Graham Binford (Mastin Fowler),
