William (Raymond) Thomason was born on January 2, 1941 to the parents of James Samuell and Mary Jewel Hood Thomason in Claiborne Parish, La. He was called to his Heavenly Home on January 21, 2012. He is preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Wayne Samuel Thomason. He is survived by his sisters La Nell Thomason, Genevieu Truaschel, Roseleen Davidson and a brother, Joshua Malcolm Thomason. Raymond graduated from the Louisiana State School for the Deaf at Baton Rouge in 1960. He joined Model Tailors in Dallas in 1962 where he was presently employed. He always had gratitude to the Cercone Family for this opportunity and for the enjoyment of working alongside his supervisor, Domenica Sciortino. Raymond loved the ministry of the Silent Friends at First Baptist Church Dallas where he became a member in 1965. A graveside service will be held at Forest Grove Cemetery in Homer, La on Thursday at 1:00 pm
