Raymond Brokamp

A gentleman in every sense of the word. I am compelled to call him Mr. Brokamp, as he was my plane geometry teacher at Taft High School in 1957. He opened my eyes to the world of math! He very ably played first base on a semi-pro team with my brother Jim. We need more Ray Brokamps in this world! Rest in Peace, Sir.

I worked with Ray Brokamp at the Ed Center when he was an interim Superintendent. He was a man of great integrity. He made a point of knowing everyone and always addressed us by name. Tremendous leadership qualities. Not enough men like him in the world today. What a loss! Sending your family my condolences on his passing.

WHHS 1971, graduates, my heartfelt condolences to the family and the community, a wonderful decent, intelligent man, made a big impact on my life, the Walnut community mourns

What an inspiring leader in our community. He touced so many lives in so many way. I am so glad he was a part of my life. My prayers are with the Brokamp family.

The Saal Family had the best neighbors in the world with the Brokamp Family on Moon Valley Lane. Memories are LOVE! My condolences to this beautiful family. Sincerely, Betsy Saal

Mr. Brokamp was a true leader at Walnut Hills, balancing education and some degree of order with self expression and protest in the turbulent times of the late 60's. From riots after Martin Luther King's assassination and Jerry Rubin's visit to his alma mater to speak to students, to regular discussions about the content of The Chatterbox, Mr. Brokamp kept his cool through it all. Godspeed, Ray Brokamp, you left the world a better place.

Mr. Brokamp was a true scholar and a real gentleman. I think of him often after these many years and how he just exuded leadership and a passion for teaching young people. When he was a student at UC he took a programming class from my father and he would often say to me "Please remember me to your father". Much more elegant than just saying, "Tell your Dad I said Hi". I use that term to this day and remember him every time I use it.

God Bless you Mr. Brokamp for all the lives...
