Raymond loved life and he loved his family. He joined the U.S. Army in November 1950 and was sent to Korea. While serving in the Korean War he was captured and held as a POW. He was very proud of his service, and he loved his country. He enjoyed being outdoors whether he was camping, hunting or fishing. He loved running his junk store and going to auctions and flea markets. Helping people is what he loved most of all, and he did his best to help everyone that he could. He enjoyed working for the Police and Sheriff’s department. He was known as Stilwell 99 or Adair 99, and he loved being able to help the agencies and the people that he came in contact with. He spent the last 7 years in the Claremore Veterans Home where he was given excellent care. Raymond was one of a kind and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
