Raymond wore many titles: son, brother, husband, dad, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, and friend. Raymond loved farming and raising farm animals and crops. Raymond also loved bowling and was in a weekly bowling league for more than a decade. He enjoyed spending his evenings and days off mowing the lawn, tinkering on equipment, working on the farm, hunting, watching sports or spending time with his family.
