He is listed as born in San Francisco in the Calif Birth Index, mother's maiden name English, but is living with his grandparents in the 1930 census.
Married Dora Jean Safley (1929-2001) and had 3 children, Larry (deceased), Bruce, & Colleen (b. 1 Oct 1952).
The family story goes that his parents told him that if he married Dora, they would disown him. He married her and from what is known, they never did see him again until much later, when his father came to live with them in New Mexico (where Raymond and Dora were living in the late 1980's and early 1990's), and they took care of him until he died. Dora had a little spark to her the other moms did not, kind of an 'Auntie Mame' vibe. Maybe Edna saw a little of her own 'scandalous' youth in her ...
