Raymond Stassen, 92, was born in St. Paul, Minn., the third and youngest son of William R. Stassen and Martha Glewwe Stassen. After a stint in the U. S. Navy, he earned degrees in speech pathology and audiology from the University of Minnesota. During the 30 years of his professional life, he served as the director of clinical audiology programs at teaching hospitals in Minneapolis, New York City and Newark, N.J. Upon retirement, he moved to Elkader, attracted by its small-town charm and the prospect of being neighbors of his treasured friends, the Schiller-Pollock family.

 

On the last day of 2016, he was pre-deceased by his spouse of 50 years, Julian W. Carr. He is survived by his daughter, Martha L.A. Stassen, and her mother, Marilyn Stassen-McLaughlin. 

 

Full of years, he died on Sept. 25, knowing he was treasured by those he had nourished and forgiven by those he had wronged. He went gently into that good night.
