I'll miss all your stories of tearing up the town with my Pawpaw and the trouble you two would create trying to pull one over on your Big Sis! Now that you're back with your Boys, y'all are tearing up the clouds up there in Heaven. Lots of Love and Kisses

All of my love and prayers go out to the family in this time of loss.

To my favorite Great uncle, you were my dad's favorite uncle. I will always remember the good times we had and cherrish the memories. To all my second cousin's my prayer's and most of all my love is with you at this time. lets stay in touch and remember we are not promised tomorrow.

Love,
Vicky

My Dad died Monday the 8th of October 2012. He was a good guy. He always took care of us and for that I am grateful. I know we always loved each other, even when we hated each other. Maybe especially at those times. Fathers and Sons are not always such good company. At the end of the day we were friends and for that I am also grateful.

My Dad, Raymond Richard Goynes, had been sick for some time and I’m thinking he’d decided enough was enough. His passing is undoubtedly a blessing for him. I cannot describe what it’s like for me. It changes by the minute. I’m crying, then laughing. One minute stoic and the next I am in pieces.

Truth is I am a very lucky fella. I have a Mom and a Dad, brothers, sisters; a host of friends who wish me well. There were times when I thought my life was a curse. At this moment, in time, I know my life is a blessing. I will suit up and show up, as they say…

Thanks everyone for your good wishes.

My Dad was 82 years old and a Marine, but mostly he was my Dad.

Aunt Jane,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Much Love,
Lane and Cindy

ole friend R.I.P.
Jane , our prayers are with you.

I will never forget his smiling face. He was a joy and a character to be around. Give my Paw Paw Goynes a great big hug for me. Love you Uncle Ray!

With loving memories I will always remember your great smile and big strong voice. A wonderful man who loved his family. My father's older brother and best friend. I know he is there waiting for you, give him a hug from me. We will all miss and remember you well. May Our Heavenly Father hold you in the palm of his hands. Peace be with my cousins, Aunt Renee and Uncle Fred. Love to you all!!

We will miss his smiling face and the strength of his love. Our family has lost another great man, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. Prayers and love to my cousins, aunts, and uncle. To a great life, Uncle Nooksie! Oorah!
