David Wallace "Butch" Raymond

David Wallace "Butch" Raymond, 91, of Trempealeau, WI, died Sunday, January 16, 2022 at The Pillars of White Bear Lake, MN. Recently, David was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 69 years, Norma Marie Dolle. For the majority of their 69 years married life, the couple resided in St. Paul, MN.

After teaching in the St. Paul Public Schools for 35 years, David (Wallace) and Norma retired to Trempealeau, WI. While living in Trempealeau, they became co-owners of the supper club "At the Corner" in Centerville, WI with his brother, Tony and Tony's wife, Sandy. David was an avid golfer, curler, and a pretty darn good poker player. Another interest of his was designing and building homes, including several of the homes they lived in.

David Wallace is survived by four sons: Bill, Paul (Colleen), John (Chris), Mark (Stacy); two daughters: Pat (Ron) Shelito, Barb (Mike) Ives; 13 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; five sisters: Mary Jean Dettinger (Gerald Bruce), Roseann Raymond, Irene (Maynard) Smieja, Janet Raymond, Kathryn Raymond (Art Haspeslagh); and one brother, Tony (Sandy) Raymond.
