Raymond and I have been friends since grade school and we´re class officers We had so much fun both in grade school and high school. He was a great friend and we kept in contact until the day of his death. So many fun memories together.

Raymond was my first cousin of the original 13 William & Catherine Eickmeyer grandchildren. He was 13 years my senior and a favorite nephew of my parents, Bill and Thelma (Eickmeyer) Wolf. My parents often toted little Raymond around even before they wed in 1940. He always had this wry sense of humor and was fun to be around. Here are a few pics of young Raymond. I last saw him at the 2023 Eickmeyer Reunion. He will be missed dearly. Rest in peace, Raymond.
