Obituary

Our father, Captain Raymond H. Schmidt, US Air Force retired, age 97, formerly of Clermont, took his final flight to his heavenly home on December 25, 2017. He was born August 12, 1920 to Jacob A. Schmidt and Anna J. Schmidt in Enid, OK where he grew up. He married Eva C. Barker (Katy) on September 7, 1941 and they shared nearly 65 years together before her passing in June 22, 2006.

Captain Schmidt proudly served his country for 25 years in the military and was a WWII veteran. When he retired from the Air Force in 1962, the family relocated from Salina, Kansas to the Orlando area where he lived until last year.

He leaves behind two sisters Dorothy Krimm of Raleigh, NC, Jean Grabowski of Phoenix, AZ, three daughters Barbara (Jon) Bell of Salina, KS, Jody (Bill) Cramer of Boca Raton, FL, Patti (David) Bock of Speedway, IN. God blessed the Schmidt extended family with 13 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.
