David Whiting Raymond ’48

Dave died Aug. 10, 2004.

A native of Detroit and graduate of Cranbrook School, Dave joined us in June 1944 and graduated four years later with an AB in economics. He was in Cap and Gown, president of the Press Club, and active in the Bureau of Student Aid.

He served in the Merchant Marine from 1945-46 and the Air Force from 1950-53. Dave said he was given a choice between the Air Force or the infantry.

After his years in the service of his country, Dave's career was in advertising and sales. He was with two national advertising agencies for about 15 years. Then he joined a manufacturer's agents firm specializing in selling hunting, fishing, and marine products in the Midwest.

In 1990 he ostensibly retired but continued marketing on a semiretired basis, as well as his longtime involvement with an amateur theatrical group. Golf, tennis, and fishing never lost their allure.

The class extends its condolences to Dave's devoted children, Rob, Bill, and June, as well as his four grandchildren. Dave returned for major reunions and kept in touch with Princeton friends.
