After moving to San Antonio in 1990, Raymond started several businesses throughout the years in the areas of carpet cleaning, used office furniture and car restoration. But it was in 1993 when Raymond and Annie started their greatest business venture, Ms. Annie’s Daycare. Through the years, the two Ms. Annie’s daycare centers have served thousands of families in San Antonio and Universal City with their childcare needs. The children will always remember “Mr. Bear” for the care and concern that he always gave to them. Raymond and Annie always enjoyed traveling, both domestic and abroad in their free time. He was a great husband, a great step-dad and a wonderful grandfather. He will forever be missed!
