I remember when we were kids and he really played rough with me. We were raised on a farm and he had a very good arm throwing Cotton bolls at me when Daddy wasnt around and we were picking cotton. I know that he would have given me the shirt off his back if I needed it. Im going to always remember you and will miss you, I love you. Gerald

Well, I dont know how you guys are feeling, but I am filled with a strange abundance of peace, a new feeling of pure love for our Dad that is at a quotPlace of Gloryquot. I know he is flying on the wings of a snow white dove. Being able to feel love freely without restrictions. Feeling our undying love we each have for him. I dont think he was ever able to do that. I think he is finally proud of each and everyone of us for being a little chunk of him, even though we will deny it to our grave.

I worked with Raymond at Texaco. He was one of my favorite coworkers. There was always laughter and yelling with him. Her was certainly entertaining but a very good kind hearted man. Raymond, you will be missed but never forgotten.
