It was a pleasure taking care of Mr Underwood . Praying for the family at this difficult time .
Raymond was a dear friend of my parents, Molly and Art Darwin…. I am glad to know he lived such a long life! I’m sure he kept his friends at Grace Ridge “entertained” with his wit and charm…. Now he can join his other heavenly family and friends, and they’ll be so happy to see him!

I am his grandchild. I never got much of a chance to know him, but I did love him with all of my heart.

So sorry for your lost, he was my friend for many years
