Ma Debbie seen it went home to tell Pops. Dont think he didn't call me up at the store 🙂 Whos that OLD man you tapped to the window.

Love you all my Louisiana family:)
To Raymond's family I would like to express my most heartfelt condolences. I am so sorry that I couldn't be there, as I have been away for many years. Raymond had been on my mind lately as we are trying to relocate back home and I was looking forward to going fishing with him again. We worked together for a number of years, and for a professional dart thrower, he was a pretty good beer man! Paul, I will look you up when I get home again. In the meantime, please give me a call at 360-977-0601. Debbie, I still have family there, and we are at your service if there is anything that needs tending to. Please don't hesitate to call on us. Again, I am so sorry I couldn't be there to pay my respects in person. I will miss him. God bless you and keep you. Sincerely,Alan Hyatt
To the entire Esthay family. Debbie and I are so sorry for your loss. I worked with Raymond at Beverage Sales for 10 years. I will always remember the laughter and fun times we had together. I moved to Seattle 20 some years ago and would always, when in Lake Charles, go by Beverage Sales and try to see him. He will be missed by all.
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad Wanda. I seen him not that long ago at Chaissons. I just found out that he worked at Beverage Sales with my cousins husband. My sincere condolences.
