It is with great sadness that the family of Raymond A Bartram announces his sudden passing on June 22,

His love of life did not come to an end with his death here on earth. He was surrounded by his loved

ones, who will continue to honor his legacy by living their lives to the fullest.

Graduating from New Braunfels High School, he earned his Bachelor's Degree from the University of

member of the Rotary Club. After retirement from the bank, his next project was a joint venture to

develop the condos known as Camp Warnecke Estates on Garden Street and establish the property

management company. Then, in his spare time, he took up ranching. He registered in the Selective

Service System in September of 1963 and served in the Texas Army National Guard, Bravo Battery, 4th
