We have a request to provide a flag line to honor Raymond S. Garcia, 85, US Army and Army National Guard. It would be our privilege to so.
Raymond enlisted into the Army in 1954 and served unto 1958 with the last two years being in the Army National Guard.
In civilian life, Raymond spent his life in service to his country and community. He worked as a firefighter at the Yuma Proving Grounds. He also was employed at March AFB, George AFB and several other bases as a firefighter, fire inspector and fire inspector chief. He was also a Deputy Marshal, and Riverside Sheriff Bailiff.
Raymond is survived by his wife of 58 years, Faye, siblings, Richard, Gilbert, Mitchell, Victor, and Blanche, children, Gary, Maryellen, Sabrina, Michael, Gregory, Robert, Keith and Eric and 19 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
