There wasn’t a person that could resist his infectious smile and attitude. From his school mates, church members, various restaurants, bank, and store associates to all of his family, Raymond was loved by all! He befriended so many he could have won most political office runs. He really was the “Everybody Loves Raymond!” Many of these people understood and played, “tag your it,” as he and they would try to be the last one to tap the other on the shoulder, especially the ladies! Raymond knew all of the important landmarks in the area, often yelling out and pointing at Huntington Beach, his schools, his favorite restaurants, the recycle center, as well as the UPS trucks, ambulances, and the Sheriff’s vehicles, all the while singing to popular 1980’s rock and roll songs!
