Raymond Rodewald... age 86 Obituary
Raymond Henry Rodewald age 86 of Paola, KS died Tuesday January 31, 2023 at his home.
Raymond was born May 31, 1936 in Winfield, KS. He was one of two children born to Henry W. and Irene K.M. (Muller) Rodewald. In 1951, the family moved South of Block where they made their home. Raymond attended Paola High school where he graduated.
All his life Raymond has helped his dad with farming. When he graduated he started farming full time with his dad. They farmed corn, soybeans and cattle. At one time they farmed 800 acres. Raymond continued to farm for the rest of his life.
In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He took fishing trips to Branson, Colorado and Minnesota with a friend. Every morning you could find Raymond and a group of guys from Fontana drinking coffee in Fontana. He loved his dogs and was a member of Block Trinity Lutheran Church.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Survivors include one sister, nieces, cousins and many lifelong friends.

Raymond and I, along with Lloyd Peckman, Don Herrs, Ron Reifel, Noel Keller, and Lester Bartels, and Lorene Kettler Medlin, were the students who were confirmed from the 8th grade at the Trinity Lutheran School, Block, many years ago around 1950, I know that Lloyd and I are still alive, and I think maybe Noel and Lester, but we keep losing others (of course, we are all 86 years of age). Raymond was a quiet man in school, however, my deceased husband, Bob Prothe, would visit with him at the Fontana Elevator and always enjoyed talking to him in past years before 2012. Raymond was a good man
