When he wasn’t traveling around the world to such destinations as England, Nigeria, Algeria, Australia and Scotland building hundreds of towers, he was home and getting ready to go hunting. He loved to hunt, especially deer, coon, and rabbits! He also liked to spend a day fishing, and enjoying the water. Raymond had a wonderful sense of humor, and possessed the ability to make everyone around him comfortable ,and smile. He liked riding and raising horses, and was always happy to be around home. He enjoyed any chance he had to spend with his family, and always took the chance to tease his family. He was never one to let life pass him by, and enjoyed every moment he had.
