Raymond was always a kind and polite person,
Never had a bad word to say about anybody,
He worked tiredlessly helping many people in this daily life always putting people first.
Always there to talk to Raymond never said ops sorry l must dash
You were more important to chat to because he cared about you and your concerns.
He worked tiredlessly with charities in hail rain snow whatever the weather.
I first met Raymond when I first joined mirron street youth club back in the late 1960s.
I always Respected Raymond with the most highest regards he was a true gentleman one of the best.
Rest up Raymond with the lord your tireless work is done you have served you town with pride.
God bless you Raymond.
🙏 Praying for you.
