Sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear of Mr. Raymond death. His kindness & helpfulness to my parents was a blessing. May the family read Psalm 55:22 about Jehovah helping you. You have our family condolences.
Oh, Dear Robin and Matt and Amber – Cubby and I are so sorry for the pain and loss you are going thru right now. We know you love and miss him deeply. Thank God you will be seeing him again one day – tho not as soon as you’d like! If there’s anything we can do for you, please just reach out. I pray for God’s comfort for you all.

My Dad. So hard to put into words how much he meant to me. He taught me so much…and many others. Raymond Dodd was a very caring and empathetic man. He cared so much for anybody…the every person…someone on the street, he loved people and family. My father is a treasure, and I miss him so badly.
Deepest condolences
I called you Little Brother, you called me Nindynan when you were little, My Sons,
Chris & Steven called you Uncle Ray, my husband Rick affectionately called you Raymo or Bubba. Momma called you her baby boy, Daddy called you Ray.
Raymond proudly served his country, loved his family, friends from the old neighborhood of Fair Meadows and the people he worked with at the commissary. He was proud to be a husband, called Dad, being a grandfather and an Uncle. We will miss your smile & contagious laugh, but most of all how you made people feel, that they
mattered to you. You are seeing what “I can only imagine” on this side of Heaven, and one day we will be together again. For now you are missed like no other, Our precious memories will always be present in my heart Little Brother. I deeply miss you and I always will❤️
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Raymond Edward Dodd Jr, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten.
