He married the love of his life Barbara Anne Milne on Valentine’s Day in 1957 in Junction City, KS. They remained sweethearts for 65 years. To this union were born Susan, Linda, and Michael.

His other hobbies included, cruising (especially to Tahiti), visiting casinos, watching court tv, listening to Western music, and eating a lot of Mexican food.

Raymond wished to be cremated with no services but with a message to his friends and fellow officers to listen to Johnny Cash and have shot of Jack Daniels in his honor.

The family would like to thank Dr. Reed, Holiday Resort, and Good Shephard Hospice for the wonderful care that Raymond was given.
