RAYMOND A. LeGRAND

I was sorting through a box of old cards and letters that I have saved and came across a letter from Prof. LeGrand about the passing of Mrs. LeGrand. I met them while attending John Carroll University through their son, David, a close college friend. We spent several dinners in their home in Ohio drinking Prof. LeGrand's homemade wine, talking, and laughing. They were so kind and so welcoming. We stayed in touch until Mrs. LeGrand's passing. I was sorry to read about Mr. LeGrand but am glad...

Raymond Legrand war mein Urgrocousin. meine Urgromutter Margarethe Legrand war die Schwester seines Urgrovaters Leonhard Legrand aus Sohren im Hunsrück/ Germany.
Ich bin sehr traurig, dass ich ihn nicht mehr persönlich treffen konnte. Über Facebook konnten wir jedoch einige Gedanken austauschen. Ein kluger Mann! In Gedanken bin ich bei seiner Familie!

We met Ray while living in Naples. We were on the same bad bowlers league!! We became friends instantly and began our years of laughter, travel, wine drinking, story telling and dining out! Such happy memories we have of those years both in Naples and in the Villages where Ray moved when we did. He just couldn't give up the chance to ride all over in his golf cart. We missed him greatly when he moved to Oberlin but he has always been in our hearts.

I was so honored to make Ray's acquaintance when he was at the Villages in Florida. As a friend of my father Tom and his wife Geri, he was a welcome and so entertaining part of any dining out group I was part of. As the years went by, I enjoyed his perspective and many interesting Facebook posts. I hope he has joyfully reunited with his Joan.

I learned many other useful classroom techniques from his courses over the years. I give you my deepest sympathy in your loss. I am...
