Inez, and family, I am so very sorry for the loss of Raymond. I will remember him most for the way he could be so funny in our conversations but also in the way he always personified a gentleman. Never complaining and never blaming. I will miss him as a friend and brother-n-law.
Love to you,
Shirley
So sad to hear of the passing of Raymond. He was a very humble man, and soft spoken. He loved his family and friends and will be missed very much. May God bless and keep all his loving family. Pat Allen Duncan
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Ray at Interstate/Johnson Lane – what a humble person. He will be missed.
So sorry to hear about Ray. I have many good memories of him. He loved country breakfasts at the Lick Skillet and tried to teach me how to drive a truck. That was many years ago. He was kind and gentle and I know he will be missed by many friends and family. Godspeed, Ray into that good night.
I just learned of Ray’s passing today. He was such a kind and good friend to me when I worked with him at Interstate Securities in Asheville. My thoughts and prayers are with Inez and his sons. I will miss him a lot and just recently moved back to NC from Canada and was hoping to get over to see him.
