  Although it's been 30 some years since I've seen Raymond, the great memories we've shared will always remain with me. We had some great times, you teaching me to cut meat at Suburban, playing parleys, working together on that major marketing project "Kool Kwilt", having Pope Raphael hearing our confessions, going to the Kentucky Derby, and our road trips back and forth to Athens just to mention a few. I still visualize Raymond with that robe on reading the local newspaper in the dorm and our apartment. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Ken Alessi

  My deepest sympathy to all involved. I was a CCHS classmate of Ray's and have many fond memories. He loaned me a pick up in 1976 to assist in my move from Chillicothe back to Steubenville. He was just that kind of guy. Thoughts and prayers to all. Sincerely, Dan Feeney

  Ray, Though it's been nearly 30 years since we've shared a laugh, I always remember you with a smile on your face. I remember those days at Gas Town, in Athens, hikes in Yellowstone Park, and Salter's Ln in Missoula. You were a close friend and I'm blessed to have had you as a part of my life - I'm better because of you. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. My hope is that you're happy and that our paths cross again someplace, someday. Keep the sun in your face and the wind at your back my friend. Mel

  I was deeply saddened to hear of my younger cousins' passing away.It was quite a shock.I would run into him at the grocery store or at Lowe's and he always had a smile .He was way too young to pass away, but I couldn't help thinking of his dear Mother,my Aunt, who welcomed him back in her arms..

  I am sorry to hear about Ray, I worked with Ray for several years at Lowes and I can still remember Rays jokes on busy days. It seemed that even on the craziest day Ray would find time to lift our spirits with a funny story or a passing joke. Your family is in my prayers.

  Ray had such a personality that you couldn't help being drawn to and that is one of the things we will miss. He always was making us laugh with some story of his about something or someone. We had lots of fun in the old days,still saw him often at Lowes and kept in touch that way. We will sure miss his humor. Mikey and him are probably planning some crazy event right now! We sure will miss him! Our sympathies go out to the whole family!
