The family of Raymond George Karlovich has asked us to help honor their hero at his interment and we are honored to do so.

Raymond Karlovich served with pride and honor in the United States Air Force from September of 1969 to September of 1973 as a Supply Specialist.  During his tour of duty, he spent a year in Vietnam where he added the Vietnam Service Medal and Vietnam Campaign Ribbon to his Good Conduct and National Defense Service Medals.

Upon separation from the service, Raymond worked as a security systems technician for over 30 years.   In his spare time he enjoyed riding his Harley and working on his vintage (1932) automobile.

Raymond is survived by his wife Yolanda; children Raymond Terry and Tita; brother Brett and niece Yvette.

Please join us in honoring this American Hero and his family.
