Mr. Raymond will be sadly missed. I had just received word today at Ryans restaurant in Madison, TN of his passing and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so looking forward to seeing him and my friends there today. My mother and I, along with my brother and his wife usually get to dine there maybe once a month or so and I always look forward to talking with Raymond and Mrs. Alice Faye. Such a wonderful and happy man he was. His smile and jokes brought such happiness to me. Our family will miss him so much and our prayers are with you Mrs. Alice Faye. I'm am so honored he called me friend. I loved him dearly and I will forever remember him as one that brought happiness to me every time we met. We love you Mrs. Alice Faye and please accept our deepest condolences.

May God Bless You Always with peace.

It was my good fortune 43 years ago to have met Raymond. I had just gotten into bluegrass (from playing R&R and electric guitar) and went to Shelbyville fiddlers convention and saw Raymond picking. We introduced ourselves and agreed to meet at horsepens 40 a couple of weeks later. While there picking a guy comes up and asked us to come over to their camp. That would be Jerry and Mae Hinton and so started a tradition that has grown ever larger. Raymond was as close a friend as I have ever had.
He showed me that guitars didn't have to be made in a factory and encouraged me to try, and I did. I have watched him sit with young guitar players for very long periods of time teaching them, all they had to do was ask. After a couple of days at a festival all of us would be looking pretty rough. Not Raymond, ever the Marine, he would come out of his van clean shaven, fresh clothes, looking like he had just arrived.He told me one time that he has DRY shaved every day since the Marines. One thing some of you may not know is that he was offered a chance to try out for major league baseball when he finished college but turned it down because he always wanted to be a Marine. Many of my fondest memories are of my Friend Raymond.

It's times like these that I often find myself wishing I had taken more time to seek someone (Raymond) out on just a few more occasions. I did not know Raymond as well as I would have liked, but I am thankful that I got to spend time with him back in 2003 while I was between jobs. He was an interesting man and despite not knowing him well I truthfully think of him quite frequently. One thing stands out to me during the time we spent together. Raymond encouraged me to be good or even great at one thing as opposed to just mediocre at lots of things. To this day I have some of his artwork hanging in my home. Some signed by Raymond read "Especially for Brett". I know that I'm not the only one with artwork signed by him that way but nonetheless I always felt like those were especially for me because that is how he interacted with me, by giving me his full attention. Raymond, You will be missed. Until we meet again in heaven!

Sincerely,
Brett Lanham

We dearly loved this man, and we love you Faye! You brought him so much happiness, you were his world and you took such sweet care of him. You made him "As happy as a blind hog in a Hershey factory" or one of his many other Raymondism's. We will miss his jokes, music, art and of course him. We will always be here for you.

I am so sorry to hear about Raymond. He was a wonderful musician. He always encouraged me at GOG with a nod of his head and said good job. He made me laugh many times at his jokes. I will miss Raymond. May God draw near to His family at this sad time of loss. Love you, Betty Ann Griffin.

Raymond and Faye are two of the most talented people we know. We were blessed to enjoy them as musicians in their home and as neighbors. Raymond's music, sketches, and life experiences could keep you listening to him endlessly. And Faye was his shining glory! We are glad you are in an even better place, Raymond!
