In the early years of their marriage, Raymon farmed in Roscoe. At the end of 1940, he operated a gas station, where he discovered that mechanic work was his life's calling. He operated his own garage in Hermleigh, Texas until 1965. Due to failing health, he moved this family to Odessa where he worked for his brother, Robert in the Laundry mat Business. There he remained until his retirement at the age of 50 for health reasons.
His hobbies were Dominoes and bowling. After his retirement, he became secretary to six bowling leagues which allowed him to bowl. He liked to play name games and make up rhymes. He enjoyed fishing, and was a big football fan. Raymon's biggest vice was smoking. In his younger life, he smoked Camel Cigarettes. He later gave up cigarettes and started smoking cigars. Despite all the medical warnings, he never gave up smoking. In the early part of 1979, Raymon had open heart surgery. But this however did not prolong his life. He will be greatly missed.
