Ridenour Raymond ’24

Body

Ridenour died Oct. 12, 2000, in his home in Kansas City. He was almost 99. He entered Princeton from Lawrenceville School, ran track, and became captain of the cross-country team. He was a member of Charter Club.

Following Princeton he worked in New York for several years and then returned to Kansas City to become an insurance agent for the rest of his business career. His wife of 66 years, Virginia Snider; his son, Martin S. Raymond '56; his daughter, Virginia R. Wagner; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren survive him.

His passions were fly-fishing and mountain climbing in the Rocky Mountains, world travel, his annual vacations to his second home in Carmel, Calif., and keeping track of the successes of his descendants. His family misses this dedicated family man and ever-loyal alumnus.
