Raymond was employed with the State of Texas, Burnham Van Service Inc., Bekins, EDC Moving Systems, Rockford Business Interiors, Penske Corporation and retired from ABF Freight System Inc. During his career as a freight truck driver, he excelled tremendously and received numerous certifications and awards, all of which made his family proud.
Raymond enjoyed watching all sporting events, some of his favorite teams were the Dallas Cowboys, University of Texas Longhorns, Texas Rangers, and NASCAR. He could always be seen proudly wearing their shirts and jackets despite their season record. Upon retirement, his dream of owning an RV came true which brought him much joy spending quality time with Vera and the family along with extended family on Lake Austin, San Marcos River, and Port Aransas. His favorite pass time was fishing whether it was at a catch and release fishing pond or on the coastal waters.
Raymond's smile, contagious laugh, witty sense of humor, silly jokes and riddles was what brought so much sunshine into everyone's lives. His abounding unconditional love for his family and friends is what everyone will remember him for and will be greatly missed.
The family would like to thank Diana Ruthce, RN at Ascension Seton Hays Hospital; Aspen Hospice nursing staff Alex and Cathy, and Hospice Coordinator, Jennifer Cash; Alysia Bedgood, MD and staff at Inertia Sports & Family Medicine for their excellent care of Raymond.
