Uncle Raymond was always there at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I remember him chasing us kids around the house outside. Once when I came home to Louisiana to visit, we went to a carnival in Welsh. There he was with Dot. He came right over and gave me the biggest hug. He was so nice.
I'm sorry for your loss Dot, Uncle Jimmy and Uncle Tommy and all those close to Rayond. You are in our prayers.
He will be greatly missed.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Love you Uncle Raymondđź’”

Our condolences to Raymond’s wife , Dot, on the loss of her husband. It was a shock to hear of his passing. I suppose I will always have memories of our early childhood playing at grandma and grandpa’s house in Welsh. Playing in the field next to the house. Raymond would shoot arrows into the air, and all us kids would wait for them to come back down. We didn’t have any idea of the danger, but it was fun. To Tom and Uncle Jim, Anne and I are sorry for your loss. The loss of another sibling is difficult, especially when you should be enjoying the holidays. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Rich and Anne
