Raymond Louis "Tim" Gloeckler

We wish to offer our deepest condolences to Joyce and family. We have fond memories of Ray as an affable colleague in the UW-Madison Art Department. Raymond Gloeckler was an integral member of the printmaking faculty that put the UW-Madison Art Dept. on the map. His print oeuvre is extensive and easily comes to mind.
