The joys of Raymonds life were being with his family and he loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and tending to his garden. All were welcomed for a visit to his home or his camp, with a cup of coffee or a meal. He always had time to help his family and friends. Raymond would eagerly teach you what he knew whether it was how to drive, bait a fishing line or grill a great steak. His hard work and dedication was an incredible example for his family, Raymond was a loving husband and a great father and grandfather. He will be deeply missed but the memories he leaves us with will be forever cherished.
