Raymond was a very special person with a wonderful talent. He was such a strong lead guitarist and had a beautiful, soothing voice which reflected his personality and nature. I was indeed very privileged to have played with him albeit for a short period of time. My condolences to the family.

We enjoyed Raymond's guitar playing and singing so much each Thursday night at the Plainview, AR VFW with Jimmy's Ole Country Band. A very talented man with a great voice, and a very kind humble person. We will miss him so much. The family has my condolences.
