I was shocked to hear of Raymond's death. "Cuz," as we called each other, was very close to my family when we were kids. Although we lived in cities 40 miles apart, the families visited back and forth regularly and we kids spent a lot of time going to movies, playing war, etc.Later on, Raymond lived with our family in California for about 2 years and he and I attended Pasadena Community College. Brother Bob came back from New Mexico and the three of us took a shot at operating a service station (I think we were about the 10th group to have it). As happened to all the others, we did not make a go of it because the station had a lousy location. But it was fun while it lasted. Raymond eventually went back to Little Rock and from that time on we had only limited contact with occasional visits to each other.So long Cuz! We'll miss you. -Dent

I remember meeting Raymond as a small child and always marveled about my vast extended family on my Dad's side of the family – and how our strong Southern roots and, as cousin Mike said, our country's greatest generation valued family, connectivity and passing stories on.Nana, my great grandmother was Marguerite Dent Eiland and always shared wonderful stories about Raymond and her family. Before she passed, when we would visit, we would get updates on everyone, including Raymond.My sincerest sympathies to his immediate family and friends. He will be remembered by his extended family fondly and with love. God Speed, Raymond.

I am Raymond's youngest cousin on his mother's side, and he was my last living cousin. I just happened upon his obituary after checking his name on the Internet. We haven't been in touch much except for Xmas cards in recent years. He did make a trip to Albuquerque about 6 or 8 yrs. ago – we were at my brother Dent's house. I informed Dent about Raymond's passing today. We will miss him being part of our family.

We will be remembering Raymond this summer when the Dent/Eiland Family Reunion looks back on the Eiland Brothers Service Station in Pasadena circa 1938.Raymond was an important figure in the boys' endeavors. Godspeed, Raymond and love and prayers go out to our whole family.

Just by chance when checking the names of various people on the internet I ran across this obituary of my cousin Raymond. His mother Olga Dent Otey and my mother Marguerite Dent Eiland were sisters. I will let the rest of my family know of his passing, including my 94 year old brother Dent Eiland – he and his wife live in Albuquerque and I am presently living in Vancouver, WA. Raymond lived with our family for a time in Pasadena, CA while attending school there. He used to tease me a lot during that time – I was 15 yrs. younger. I last saw him in Albuquerque when he came to visit about 10 yrs. or so ago. He was a great cousin (my last living cousin)and I extend my sympathies to his family.
