Raymond was a very fine man. We were in high school together in Batesville. We also took Agriculture together. We were remodeling the building we were to use for a class room and had put up sheet rockRaymond . We were just playing around and Raymond ask if anyone wanted to "Box". No one volunteered so I said I would if Raymond would not hit me hard. Okay. I hit him to hard and he knocked me through the new sheet rock wall. Then apologize and picked me up. We redid the wall. Raymond was a good man. I wish our lives would have been closer together.
I know he will be missed. John R Stipe
