About Raymond
Biography
I a married to my best friend since 1983, and have been blessed with a son and daughter-in-law as of July 2017. I enjoyed my education career in service to young people and thieir families in Illinois, Pennsylvania, British Columbia and Michigan, but now am privileged to serve families in a different way. I help folks write their wills, trusts and powers of attorney.
In my spare time I love to travel and explore new places, read nonfiction, and follow hockey. I am a student of history and current affairs, so attempt to stay abreast of those developments as well.
I am blessed, most of all, to be saved by my Lord Jesus Christ, and pray for His leading in my life!

Well pleased
Mr. Gierach and I met to prepare a personal will/durable power of attorney-finances/power of attorney-healthcare. These documents were subsequently prepared in a very timely manner and I was well pleased with his work.
