Raymond J. Wadenpfuhl, Sr.

Mary, Chip and Linda

I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad and our growing up memories on Bruce Lane were the best! I wish kid's today had what we experienced - it was next to perfect! Your dad was a fine man and admired by so many hundreds of students he taught. We are praying for your family and deeply feel your loss. Love from all of the Pachar family

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Wadenpfuhl. I can remember my 1st day of band before school ever started where he had us blowing into mouthpieces and letting us choose instruments. He made music fun! I was blessed to be one of his "Kiddos". My thoughts and prayers are with you family.

Dear Mary and Family,
My deepest thoughts and prayers to you and your family. You were wonderful neighbors and again we are so sorry loss.
Jeannine and Pat

Mrs. Wadenpfuhl-
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Whenever the Pachars talk about "old times", the Wadenpfuhls are always a part of those fond memories!
-Mary Pachar Gonzalez

Ray had such a kind soul and sweet, sweet spirit - he will truly be missed and remembered with great love and affection.
Peace and strength to you, Mary Claire.

Mr. Wadenpfuhl was my first band director, and one of the best teachers I've ever had. Now that I've taught middle-schoolers myself, I don't know how he did it! He was wonderfully gentle and never lost his patience, even when we gave him good reason. (Like the time a certain person forgot his trumpet in 7th-grade band. That's on my list of funniest things ever.)

My prayers are with you at this time of great loss. Please know he touched so many lives, in so many musical ways. Mine was just one of them.

Mr Wadenpfuhl was my daughter's first band director at Marshall. He was everything that a teacher should be: gentle, understanding, patient and unwilling to accept anything less that a student's best. He was a gentleman and a good friend.

Very sorry to hear about Ray. He was a "Pillow" of His Church. Very kind, devoted, healpful and devoted.

May His soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed, REST IN PEACE - AMEN

My prayers are with you, Mary, as you go through this difficult time.
I have lost a husband and know what you are going through.

May God Bless you and be with you,
Kay Finklea Moyers
