The Paddens were our back door neighbors and Perry my best friend. I would walk to the back door to see if Perry could come out and play. Through the back window I could see Mr.Padden sitting on the couch rubbing Mrs.Padden's feet. He would see me and wave me in. Through the years and all the trouble Perry got me into, Pappa Bear would always be sitting on the couch rubbing Mama Bear's feet and still wave me to come in. A few years before he moved to Houston, I was in town and saw the light on at their backdoor so I went over to say hello and there he was on the couch rubbing her feet. Pappa Bear will be truely missed..I can only believe that he is in a better place, on the couch rubbing Mamma Bear's feet. okey dokey

Dear Perry and Family,

It was a relatively short time that we here at The Buckingham had the privilege of knowing your Dad. He was such a nice, positive man and from reading his obituary it is evident that he was that same man all his life. We have missed him since he went to the hospital and were quite shocked to learn that he had passed away. I learned about him from Dr. Pace who called me before he moved in and said that this is a very nice man and his son and family are here. He wanted to be sure that I might help him get acquainted here, "show him the ropes" and welcome him. That was not a hard thing to do and soon he had made many friends on his own. We already do and shall miss he and his dog.
I hope the memories you have of him will sustain you during this time of sadness. If I can help you & Melissa here at The Buckingham, do not hesitate to find me (near the Postal Boxes).
Sincerely, Pat Deckert

My sister, Julia Kitchens Wilke, and I, Liz Kitchens Gordon, spent wonderfully happy summers at Little River Country Club near Horatio, Ark. growing up with Raymond, Pat and their beautiful mother, Hope. We spent our days swimming in and mud-sliding down to the river, and our nights at the (VERY) modest club house where we learned to dance by watching the grownups. Once a year, our parents allowed us kids to stay up all night to watch the Perseid meteor shower---due to peak next month on Aug. 11 --- initially on the golf course, then down by the river. We periodically rode old inner tubes down the rapids to a highway bridge some distance below the club from which a willing parent picked us up and drove us home. Ray and Pat were a part of our summer "family." Even then, Ray's gentleness was outstanding and we all loved him and Pat. I shall always cherish memories of my unforgettable days with the Paddens and the small group of peers who, with them, made our young days so special.
We met again once, as adults, in Fort Worth, TX,, Julia and I with our husbands, Ray with his wife and dear mother, still beautiful. Great fun!
I am sorry to learn that Raymond is no longer with use, but I am very glad to have known him. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and love.
Liz
