Raymond E. Raube

Raymond Raube, age 71, a lifelong resident of Oshkosh, passed away at Aurora Medical Center-Oshkosh, on Sunday, December 25, 2022. He was born in Oshkosh on January 23, 1951 to the late Edwin and Bernice (Czoschke) Raube. Ray graduated from Oshkosh High School in 1970.

Shortly after graduating from High School, Ray went to work for the City of Oshkosh. Over his 30 plus years with the city, he held several different jobs. His last was with the sanitation department. He retired in 2006.

After retiring, Ray was always busy doing something. He was a regular at the YMCA, where he made a lot of friends. He enjoyed swimming and lifting weights. He loved riding his motorcycle. He also enjoyed fishing, antiquing, listening to local musicians and working in his yard; both in his flower beds and vegetable garden.

Raymond is survived by his brother, Dennis (Louise) Raube; nephews, David (Alison) Raube, and Eric (Angela) Raube, several cousins, as well as close friends, especially Bob and Judy Baier, Anna and Paul Pfaffenroth and their two sons.

In addition to his parents, Raymond was preceded in death by his brother-in-law, John Schultz, and his sister, Gertrude (John) Schultz.
