Robert "Bob" Hudson Raynor

Bob was born in Norfolk, VA, on July 16, 1949 to William and Margaret Raynor. He graduated from Seminole High School in Stanford, FL, in 1964, and studied architecture at the University of Florida. Bob dedicated over 30 years to the Florida Department of Education, where he served schools all over the state of Florida by working with the code compliance division.

At the age of 21, Bob enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, following in the footsteps of his father and brother. He served from 1967-1970.

Bob married his college sweetheart, Beth, in 1971. Together, they raised two children, Alan and Laura. An active member of Saint Paul's United Methodist Church, Bob loved to serve others, and used his creativity to design and build sets for various shows and Vacation Bible School. He could be found most Sunday mornings running the sound system for the services. He will be remembered for his warmth, his generosity, and his eagerness to help anyone who needed it.

Bob is survived by his wife of 53 years, Beth Raynor (nee Owens), their children, Alan (Wendy), and Laura Miller (Jim); his grandchild, Lucy; and his brother, Tommy Raynor (Sandy).

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Margaret, and his sister, Ellen Munday.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 15 at 2:00 p.m. at Saint Pauls United Methodist Church in Tallahassee.
