It is said as a twig is bent thus grows the tree. Reverend Santos must have worked extra hard bending his family tree’s twigs. What a wonderful family!
And thus a wonderful man – teacher – preacher. And now he walks with His Lord.

Pastor Wanda & family – We were so saddened to hear of the passing of your Dad (and Grandfather). We are holding your entire family close in our thoughts and praying that you find the comfort and peace you need at this difficult time. Although we never had the pleasure of knowing Raymond personally, we felt his presence within the sermons you conveyed and in the way your family often spoke of him. We wish you all love and strength as you remember the life of such a special person. With our deepest sympathies – Donna, Scott, & Ellie Kondracki
Thank you for your post Donna. Much love to you,
Willy Sepulveda Santos
We Fishers are all the more blessed and better people for knowing this gentle man and being a part of Raymond’s family. “Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine…” – “Let eternal light shine upon [him], Lord…”
So very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I know he was a very special man in your life.
Peace be with you all
Lisi and Family,
Holding you in prayer as you mourn your loss, celebrate the wonderful memories you share, and know he is with our Lord until the day you will see him again.
