It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our uncle, brother, friend, and co-worker, Raymond Carson. As one of the first members of the Pafford team in 1967, Raymond was part of the foundation that helped shape who we are today. His presence, character, and commitment left a lasting impression on our organization and on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Raymond will always be remembered for the impact he had on those around him, both personally and professionally. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.
