Raymond was born in Rochester, NY 12/22/58. He attended Edison Technical High school. He moved to Florida in 1981, and never looked back. He was very much his own person, never doing anything he did not believe in, and he chose to do things his way. He was a very generous person, always giving to others, asking nothing in return. He lived life the way he wanted, and had a care free spirit about him that most people who know him would say was his biggest downfall,
He had three loves of his life, Christopher his step son who he loved more than life itself, Patti, his daughter and Briana, his granddaughter. He cherished the moments he was able to spend with them.
He is survived by his older brother Michael Gill (Dawn), Sister Patti Cuyler, (Tim) and younger brother Tony Gill ( Jennifer) and two nieces Cara Gill, Cheryl Donald (Josh) and his nephew Jon Martinez. He also had a great nephew Jackson Donald.
