Raymond served in the Army Air Force during WWII as a mechanic and then crew chief for bomber aircraft. He supported our country’s war efforts in the African and European theatres. During his long life, he worked in many jobs including cutting ice for old-fashioned ice chests to employment with the Civilian Conservation Corps to working at Dr. Pepper bottling plant and working in shipping on Lake Superior. After the war, he met and married Mary Anderson, started his family and completed a 25+ year career at Bucyrus Erie where the company was engaged in the manufacturing of mining equipment. After his retirement in 1986, he spent time with his wife, children, and many grandchildren helping out with numerous endeavors and first homes. He will always be remembered and cherished for his kind heart, his thoughtful listening skills, and his knowledge and problem-solving abilities. He could pretty much fix anything.
