He took great care in nurturing his family ties, evident in the warmth he shared with his sons, Steven Waschalk and David Waschalk, along with daughter-in-law Jessica. He is also survived by many grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

Though he will be deeply missed, Raymond is reunited with those who have preceded him in death, including his mother, Joan Mier, and father, Felix Dewayne Epnett. He also mourns the loss of his nephew, Christopher Murphy, stepson, Josh Waschalk, and brother-in-law, Lt. Jerry Garganeous.
