I am truly sorry to hear of the death of my sweet Ramon (that's what I called him)! I loved Ramon very much and will miss him forever! How will I ever look at Greenbelt the same! He could make me laugh like no other......he died with me owning him a phone call.....I'm sorry Ramon, I meant to call you back, I was busy😭 Until we meet again💋

I am so very sorry to hear of Raymond's passing. He was such a kind hearted person. It was good to see him in August at my mothers funeral. I would have come to the service but I just found out today while looking up information on the Donaldson website about a friend's father who also passed away this week. Please let me know if there is anything we can do.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.  No doubt, you miss and desire to see your loved one again.  Your desire is a sure hope as Job 14:14, 15 expresses how God yearns to resurrect the dead and He will act in due time.  May you draw comfort from this loving promise in your time of grief.

I am saddened to hear about Raymond's passing. Raymond was a friend to everyone in the post office. It broke out hearts to see this. Trust and believe if we had known prior to the funeral, we would definitely have been there to show our support. We, the WBMC postal employees, loved Raymond. We missed him when he retired and we definitely will miss him now that he has gone home to glory. RAYMOND, WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Dear Prior & Marton Family.I worked with Raymond at the U.S Postal Service in Capitol Heights, for almost twenty years.He was the best dock clerk in the Washington BMC. As a matter of fact, when he retired I bid on his job assignment and was awarded his assignment after he retired.About three years ago, I was walking at the Buddy Attick park in Greenbelt,Md and along comes Ramond running in the park for his daily exercise, & as he passes me we recognize each other, & he runs back & gives me the biggest hug all sweaty as he was & he sits down on the park bench & we exchanged many memories of our past employment at the USPS.He was special & I will miss him very much.
