Life story

Raymond was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, fiancé and friend. He had the most beautiful smile and the most infectious laugh. A laugh that came straight from the belly.

Ray was passionate about family, body building, cooking and music. He loved every genre of music (except classical) from the 1950’s to present day. He could pick up an instrument and learn to play it within a few hours.

Ray was always willing to help out. Whether it was volunteer work to helping a stranger at the gym who was brave enough to tap him on the shoulder and ask for advice on bodybuilding.

Everyone that was fortunate enough to meet Ray realized early on that under that tough exterior, he was just a big teddy bear with a heart of gold.

We miss you Ray Ray. I know you and grandpa are in heaven watching over us. I love you so much and I look forward to the day we are together again.

Love you always,

Mom
