Raymond will always be remembered as a hard worker. He was a true friend to his classmates and helped anyone he could in his community. Raymond had such a great sense of humor, a trait he never lost through his years. He loved his family and was best known to his grandchildren for his “grandpa hugs”, that always seemed to make everything better, and “grandpa’s breakfast especially his BISCUITS”. Raymond loved the outdoors, gardening, fishing, cooking out and spending time with family, and of course he was a BIG Dallas Cowboys Fans!! And Rex, Raymond’s “boy” as he always called him, his dog, loyal till the end, never far from his side.
We would like to thank all of the doctors and nurses along the way who helped care for Raymond. Our Family Practice doctor, Dr. Frank West, who took him on as a new patient when they weren’t accepting any at that time, to his staff, to the Riverside Vascular Team, the Home Health Amedisys Team, his Private Aides, Dee, Misty, Lorilie and Maryam for loving and caring for him as family, and to the Riverside Hospice Team.
