Not sure what to say?

To the family of Raleigh, we are all so sorry to hear about Raleigh’s passing. He was a friend to all of us. Both the workers and other golfers he knew. We will miss him very much. God bless, from Teresa Casselman and all the workers at Vienna Greens Golf Course.

We are sending sincerest condolences to Raleigh's family and friends. Rick and Teri Valent

It was such a shock to hear that Raleigh passed away plus Brenda Britt Grabow, both classmates of mine and only a day or so apart. Raleigh was voted the best looking guy in our class and he kept those good looks throughout his life. He was such a nice man. I got to see him at a few of our class reunions, always enjoyed catching up with him . My deepest sympathy to all of his family.

Thanks for your friendship Raleigh you’re sure going to be missed at Vienna Greens. Rest in peace my friend

I was very young when my family would visit Uncle Nelson and Aunt Marie.
I would follow my sister to the barn where Raleigh was preparing and milking the cows.
At that time he was probably somewhere between 14 to 17 years old.
He always had a bright smile and was very nice.
I send my deepest sympathy and prayers. God Bless.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Raleigh was my brother, Marty Whetstone's ,roommate in the army. He was his best friend & stood up for him as his best man at his wedding in Michigan, I was reminded by my brother today. It's hard to hear the pain in one's loved one's voice from the feeling of loss of their friend & what they meant to them so many years ago, throughout the passing years, & even as early as weeks ago. These men...these brothers watching each other's back & fighting to save ours...are unsung heros. Regardless...

One heck of a person. Had lots of fun on the golf course with him. RIP my fellow AIRMAN. FLY HIGH.

Rest in peace. You will be missed.
