I knew Raimie from working at the CDT. I worked in the back when he and the other guys still cut out the art and put it on pages. We had a lot of laughs together. He had the best laugh. I was one of the few women who worked back there and he was very nice to me. I will always
remember him with kindness. I'm sorry for your loss.

We worked with Raymie at the CDT during the 1980s. He was a compositer helping to position elements of each newspaper page prior to creating a negative and a lead plate for printing (Hot type). I sent the page design from the computer and then check the final layout set up by Raymie. I tested his patience many times with different designs, but he always smiled and laughed under daily deadline pressure. Ramie and Guy and Paul Kocher, along with Greg and Jim Bell, always were kind and fun co-workers. (sometimes, merry pranksters). Ramie always talked proudly about his family. Thanks for great memories.
