Thanks to Beatrice Bauer, the word got out to the Kraft side of the family. While I was calling Roy Kraft, Delven Kraft, Helen Wagner, May Karst, I heard some totally awesome stories about Raymond. The best one was Roy telling me about Raymond boxing at the free fair, and how he knocked this guy out cold. I guess Raymond, great-Uncle Dave thought that was just pretty awesome that Raymond was such a good boxer. Times like this I've learned over the years the only way to go on, is to treasure those memories and those stories. Raymond you will be one more in the family that will be missed at those Kraft reunions. Don and Kathy, you most likely do not remember me, but my Dad is Delven and my Grandpa was Jacob. Raymond's laugh and stories will be greatly missed!!! When the next Kraft reunion comes along, Raymond will be one more that we share stories about and remember. You have my heart felt condolences. Your Dad was a truly awesome person and will be greatly missed. As Roy Kraft said, we will laugh and tell stories just like he was there with us. And I'm sure he will be there with us in spirit!!!
