William Kilborn Raymond ’52

Bill came to us from Hebron Academy and majored in basic engineering. He played lacrosse and joined Tower and Triangle. He roomed with Bruce Johnson, John Sharpe, and David Carruthers. His father, Ralph, was in the Class of 1917.

After Navy service he held successive management jobs in the E.F. Hauserman Co., Essick Manufacturing Co., and Agalite Bronson Co. In 1974 Bill started his own business, Lanaidor, in Oakland, Calif., which made glass residential sliding doors and insulated glass.

A family man, Bill had three daughters with his first wife, Martha Harris, who died in 1995, and in 1999 he married Fredericka Lancaster. Bill died May 28, 2018, leaving Fredericka; his daughters Julia, Caroline, and Katherine; and stepsons John and Jeff Lancaster.

We shall miss Bill, who was frequently at Reunions, and send good wishes to his family, along with appreciation of his Navy service.
