“Uncle Raymond was a very special person to me. My First memory was when I was 6 years old and visiting the family. Stevie and I played on the hill behind the house where I took a tumble, scraping my knee. Uncle Raymond gently cleaned and bandaged it. He became my hero! I didn't take off the bandage for days. I have many good memories since that time. The family will be in my thoughts and prayers.”
