Mr. Waldmann was born on May 4, 1916, on the family farm in Geranium Township of Valley County to Joseph and Katherine (Krikac) Waldmann.

He married Pauline Florida on Dec. 30, 1939, at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Geranium Township. Mrs. Waldmann died on Jan. 1, 1999.

Survivors of the immediate family include two sons and daughters-in-law, Alan and Sondra of Fort Atkinson, Wis., and Pat and Kathy of Comstock; and two daughters and a son-in-law, Paula and Kim Musil of Ord and Cecile Waldmann of Osceola.

Also surviving are five grandchildren, Rebecca and Joe Waldmann, Scott Musil and his wife, Cassie, Mark Musil and Kimberly Flessner and her husband, Nathan; and five great-grandchildren, Sarah and Thomas Musil and Zachary, Alex and Kaitlyn Flessner.

Mr. Waldmann was raised on the farm, attended District 73 rural school and Geranium High School and graduated from Comstock High School in 1934.

He and his wife made their home on a farm west of Ord for 58 years. In September 1997, they moved into Ord. After Pauline's death, Raymond continued to make his home in Ord and became a resident at the Valley View Living Center in 2007.

He was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus for more than 75 years. While on the farm, he served on the board and as a lineman for the rural telephone line. His hobbies included farming and hunting. He especially enjoyed visiting and spending time with family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Great Uncle Raymond would always harass me when I was a little boy. In fact I am almost certain that is one of the reasons I do the same to my children and students upon occasion. I cherish the memories albeit few and distant but he will be missed. Rest in peace.
With my Love and condolences,
Tom Waldmann

Alan, Pat, Paula, Cecile and families,
Your all in my thoughts and prayers, in the loss of your father, grand father, and great-grandfather. You'll always have your memories of him with you. Enjoyed seeing him at his 95th birthday party, and up at Grand View with FR Mark for services when he felt ok to come to them, and when David & Maria were here to a music presentation there (he thought I was his niece Judy).
Your all in my prayers,
Linda Maresh
