Raymond was born in Florida, moved to Georgia and back to Florida. His career began in the plumbing industry. He was so good at his craft that he moved up in the company very fast, became an instructor and then a vice president. He was given an opportunity to go to work in the Middle East where he gained a vast amount of knowledge, moved on to the Bahamas, then back to Florida and back again to the Bahamas.
His wife of 30 years followed and supported him the whole way with encouragement that he could achieve anything with his talents. He set his mind to obtaining several degrees, accreditations and license. At the age of 16 he was already learning to fly airplanes which became a lifelong hobby along with scuba diving and bowling.
He will be terribly missed by his family and friends. Thirty-eight calls were received in one hour which is a testament to how much he was loved. Ray ALWAYS went over and beyond anyone's expectations and would help strangers as well as family and friends, most times denying his own requirements.
Babe, we had our ups and downs but we never lost sight of the fact that our love conquered all. You were my prince, my knight in shining armor, my one, my only true love. I am crushed at the thought of having to live out the rest of my life without you. Hearing your voice everyday, your hugs, kisses and encouragement with "Don't Worry About A Thing, Cause Every Little Things Gonna Be Alright". I Love you with all my heart and soul and every fiber of my being. I know you are with all of your family now and having a great time. I THANK GOD for every precious moment he allowed me to spend with you and I will wait for your hand to guide me through the rest of my days here on earth.
Goodnight my special angel---I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |
