The officers and members of the KRC extend our sincere condolences to Dave's family. He was a frequent visitor to our shows in the early 1990's. The record collecting community has been left with a huge void. We will really miss him.

Our sympathy to all the Raymer family. Dave was so special. Always so ready to bring smiles and pleasure to everyone he met. When we think of the "Oldies" we will always remember him. He fought such a brave battle and he is surely at peace now and smiling down at us.
