Raymond Strobl died Jan. 18, 2012, in Cranford, N.J.

Ray grew up in Maywood, Ill., where he met Wynifred Erresberger. Ray’s family moved to New Jersey, and he graduated from Milburn High School in 1943. After two years in the Army, Ray entered Princeton in 1946, married Wyn in 1947, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics in 1949. Before marriage, he roomed in Holder with Thad Seymour and joined Terrace Club. The newlyweds lived in the barracks on King Street, where Wyn worked in a University office. They chaperoned many parties at Terrace Club.

Ray was in ROTC while at Princeton, and received his 2nd lieutenant’s bar just in time for Korea. After serving in Korea, he joined his father in the fragrance business and spent 30 years as president of Charobot & Cie, a New York importer of fragrance raw materials from France.

Living in Cranford for much of his married life, Ray enjoyed golf at Baltusrol Golf Club and traveling to visit children and grandchildren.

The class sends its sympathy and fond memories to Wyn; daughter Jeannine; son Reed; and three grandchildren.
