Our sincere condolences to all the Basaldua family. Raymond, Richard and I were best of friends from Robbins thru AHHS. I spent many memorable days and nights at the Basaldua casa here in SA (we were the guys that lived on the other side of the tracks from the 09ers). The miles may have seperated us but kindered spirits will always be together. Raymond was truly a good person and I'm sure a good man. Be at peace with his passing and be assured the good Lord has plans for him.

I knew Raymond as the little brother always hanging around his older brothers. Yes, always clowning around, and smiling. Rest in peace Raymond.

He will never be forgotten,his memory will be with us forever,Raymond was a great friend.

No words can express how sorry we are for this great loss.  We had the pleasure of meeting Raymond and your family at Armadilla Lanes while bowling on a Friday Night League.  He was such a nice and giving person with a smile always on his face.  As we are left here with only pictures, great memories and stories to tell, just remember as each day goes by we are one more day closer to seeing him again in Heaven.

To Dorcus and your boys,
I also went to AHHS with Raymond and remember his sweet genuine smile. So sorry to hear he was in pain. It seems the Good Die Young. May he Rest In Peace.
