My deepest heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and loved ones of Raymond.
What an inspiration he was to all of us, here in Florida at the Myrtle Baptist church.
He will be truly missed by all of us who had the pleasure to met and love him.
His journey on earth may be over, but his heavenly award is now his forever.

I am so deeply sorry to hear of the passing of my best friend and pal as we were growing up as little boys. How dearly our parents were such close friends thru the church and we were just drawn together from their friendship. Even though we rarely got together or saw each other as we grew older the friendship never died. May your family be blessed with Gods love thru this sad time and may you rest peacefully dear friend and pal....

Kathy (Parrigan)(Collins) Kilgore - Mar 18, 2020
May all the blessings God has to give bless this family that I dearly love. Before Ray moved to Florida we used to run into each other and have good talks about the church, our upbringings and the Lord. I hadn't seen Ray for tens of years until he came back to Plymouth and I ran into him at the grocery store. He told me he had cancer but God was going to reward him for all the suffering he had to do here on Earth. The entire Vanderpool family has mine and Tim's condolences. We love you in the Lord. Kathy
