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 a 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.
