      I wish to express my condolences to the family and loved ones of this great man.

      There has been such a heaviness in my heart this week over the loss of my dear friend and coworker. He was such a kind and thoughtful man, who for years, closely watched for my arrival every morning and made sure to get me safely to the door.
      I always looked forward to seeing him and receiving whatever he had prepared for me that day, be it a silly grandpa joke, a teasing quip, a fiery political commentary, or words of wisdom, honed from a life of hardship, hard work, and a deep love of his family. We had some great conversations.

      Raymond, my days will all now begin with sadness as I arrive and remember that you will not be there to greet me. Your time here ended much too soon and you will be sincerely missed.
      Rest in peace in my friend. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family.

    A person just doesn’t know what to say in these situations. Bobby and I both started Rockline when Raymond was the “BOSS”
    He always acted like a mean old man but really an awesome man. We always thought a lot of him, goodness knows if it wasn’t for him pushing us to do better we wouldn’t have made it.
    We are so sorry for your loss. ❤️ If there is anything we can do tell Angela to reach out. 🙏

    So sorry to hear this. Condolences to the family. I am your neighbor for many years and almost everyday I walk my dog I would wave to him in his shuttle by the hospital parking lot. Will miss seeing his friendly face.
