Upon his honorable discharge, he joined the family's longtime cattle, grain and hay raising business on the family ranch, "Laird's Landing." Raymond became the third generation owner and eventually passed the Landing on to his children, ensuring the continuance of his grandparents' legacy. Being an avid outdoors man, Raymond enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and hiking with his family and friends. After retirement, he channeled his farming talents into gardening, providing friends and neighbors with multitudes of fresh vegetables. Always good with kids, he taught all of his family to ride and rope, water ski and snow ski, target shoot, have great snowball fights and build exceptional forts. They learned to drive boats, trucks, tractors, dirt bikes and, most importantly, how to enjoy life and the outdoors. Raymond was a wonderful father and will be greatly missed by all who had the joy of knowing him. People will miss his ready smile and wry sense of humor, his love of his dogs and cat, "Scooter," and his love and enjoyment of his family and friends. Survivors include his daughters and sons-in-law, Michele Laird Coady and William Coady and Lauren Diane Laird and Tracy Wood; son, Scott Raymond Laird; and the joy of his life, grandchildren, Adam Coady, Alison Coady and her spouse Morgan Truitt, Katelyn Laird, and Sierra Laird.

His partner of may years, Leona Gill, preceded him in death in 2016.
