Raymond worked for Alcoa Aluminum for 10 years while he and Ruth lived in New Kensington. Later he worked as a road supervisor for Buffalo Township, then at the Butler County Mushroom Farm, then for the United State Postal Service in Sarver. They lived for a time in Laneville where Raymond and Ruth managed the little store that was at the junction of the pike (356) and the lower street of Laneville. They built a house north of Freeport in 1946/7 where they remained until the house was destroyed due to highway construction so they built again in 1949 in Sarverville. I remember him as a kindly man and he and my dad (Kenneth Hesselgesser) were good friends.
