Raymond was born on December 21, 1937, in St. Martinville and he was resident of Parks, Louisiana for over 50 years. He served his country in the United States National Guard. 

He held many jobs during his lifetime. In his younger years he worked for Mr. Pete Perodin doing odd and end jobs; also he and two of his brothers ( The Robertson Brothers) painted for many years. He also owned a local drive in with his wife, called Rae’s Drive In. He went on to work for Martin Mills and he remained with them until his retirement.
