Raymond was quiet and a little bit awkward when you would first meet him, but once he was comfortable he was a crazy, funny, dramatic, supportive and loving person. His love for fashion and pictures was clearly shown all the time. He took great pride in all his nieces and nephews and loved them all so much. He will be greatly missed by so many.
