His work ethic was formed at a young age as he worked alongside his father at the Kimich Tile Company.  After graduating from Sam Houston High School in 1969 he attended Sam Houston State University where he was a member of the ROTC, including the Lowman Rifle Drill Team.  After 38 years at The Port of Houston Authority he retired as Assistant Chief of the Marine Fire Department. In addition to raising 3 children during these years he was an active member in many faith based and community organizations.  These Included: Knights of Columbus, School Board at St. Charles Borromeo, organized and prepared weekly bingo concessions, St. Vincent DePaul Society, and organized the annual bazaar. He spent many years supporting the FFA Booster Club which all his children participated in. Raymond and Kathy enjoyed going on cruises to celebrate wedding anniversaries, relaxing at the beach house with family and friends, and attending all their grandchildren's many events.  Gardening was one of his favorite hobbies.
