I just found out about Raymond and I am keeping all of his family in my prayers.  He was a good friend and Walter and I loved him very much.  He will be missed.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

We are so very sorry about Raymond's death.  Leonard Junkin worked with him at MLGW many years, and treasured their friendship and working relationship.  Leonard retired 1992 and in 1996 moved with wife, Hazel to Huntingdon, TN.  Bubba, you helped our son, Kelly Junkin, and kept him one day, all day to aid in his Boy Scout. Explorers.  He became sn Eagle Scout in 1988 before he grad, from Frayser HS (where Leonard also grad. in 1962).  We know what grief is having our 6 year old Kris die in 1979.  Death hurts, and there is nothing anyone can say that helps, except, we are very sorry.  God bless and lift up the spirits of the entire family.  Leonard and Hazel Junkin

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Raymonds family. I enjoyed working with him at MLGW and have thought of him fondly many times since he retired. I miss him & his advise.

My prayers go out to Raymond's family in this difficult time. I worked with Raymond at MLGW and he was a very good Electric Distribution Supervisor - knew his job well and very dedicated.

Marguerite and Family... I will always remember the time that I worked with Raymond at the Brunswick Service Center fondly.  He was a bigger than life kind of guy, who knew his job and could be counted on to do whatever it took to do the job and do it right. He worked hard and he played hard, he loved his family and he loved his friends.  I can still hear his big, booming laugh!  Thinking of you, and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Raymond.  Raymond was one of a kind and a truly fine person.  We enjoyed working with him at MLGW. He will truly be missed.  God Bless him and his family.

We will miss Raymond and his presence among the reunion members of Catholic High in the years to come.  My deepest condolences go to all the Winklers. Rest in Peace big Ray!!

Bubba,

Raymond was a great man whom I admired very much.  He always had a great story to share or a joke to tell.  All of us at MLGW have missed him since his retirement.  We pray for you, his family, as Ray is now at peace and free of pain.
In deepest Sympathy,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

I cannot imagine the loss of a brother.  I did lose my sister in 2008 to cancer also.  Make the memory of Ray's life an everyday event and think of all the good times you have be a lifetime of joy.  God Bless you Bubba, and all the fun times we have had and will have.  From one rugger to another....ernie lubiani

Thoughts and prayers to all of Raymond's family.  Raymond was one of a kind, and a good friend and coworker.  We shared many experiences together at MLGW I will never forget.  Rest in Peace.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your loved ones now and in the days ahead. Mr.Winkler will be missed and remembered.

Bubba ...let the memories of your brotherhood guide your heart and you will always smile when you think of Raymond. God Bless. George, Patrick & Kevin Garvin
