Uncle Raymond will be deeply missed. He provided me with so many great memories on St. Patricks day, Christmas reunion and Easter egg hunting and Summer down on the dock with Uncle Gilbert. He made me smile and encouraged me to step out of the ordinary for me. I will always remember how to Irish jig because he taught me. My prayers are with all of you. I understand your loss. Uncle Raymond's influence will continue on through all of Us. Love and miss my Robertson extended Family.
