Uncle Ray, you're in our thoughts and prayers. I'm blessed to have been able to see you a few times recently and was always impressed with your strength, grace and empathy, even while dealing with your own troubles. It was a pleasure to wear Army Tshirts together and share stories about the military. You are missed and loved. Our hugs and prayers to Dad and the rest of the family at this difficult time.
Jay, Nate, John and Mikey Eberle
So many memories......from our jokes over the years about being the "youngest" to our recent outings for special seafood dinners, Ray-guided tours around St. Pete, and Bernie's show in Sarasota! How very much we learned about Faith, adaptation, acceptance, and kindness to others....peace and thanks, Ray. Sorry the family is so scattered at this sad time. Thinking of you...Love, Gail

Saddened to hear about Uncle Raymond. Hadn't gotten to FL in many years, but he was in my thoughts. Sending condolences to Aunt Jeanette, Uncle Bobby and Aunt Gail, Uncle Norman and Kathy.
My God Father was a very strong, patient and quietly determined Man who had his share of difficulties..but always kept a smile on his face and kept on trucking no matter what. I am glad I got to re connect more with him these past few years, and will always miss playing cards with him..something he and my Dad taught us as little kids...although it took me years to figure out they were cheating by looking at my cards in the big mirror hung behind Meme's dining room table!!!
I am sorry I cannot be there in person to show my love and honor for him this weekend; I know he his happy and at peace now. xoxo
Was so sorry to hear about Uncle Raymond. I was actually just talking about him fondly the other day with a friend of mine who went and visited him with me. Although I hadn't seen him in some time I still remember his smile & his wonderful tours when you would go & visit him. Also who can forget doing the stingray shuffle when he took you to the beach. I am unable to attend the funeral service however the Evon/Yvon family is in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.
