Raymond H. Frazee, age 96 of Windfall, passed away on Thursday September 14, 2017 at I.U. Health - Tipton Hospital in Tipton following a brief illness and a long, well-lived life.  He was born on July 20, 1921 in Tipton County, the son of Arlie D. and Margaret Julia "Lilly" (Busch) Frazee.  Raymond was a farmer all of his life in the Curtisville area, and finally retired in 2016 after 70 years in farming.  Ray attended Windfall schools, and later served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII.  He was proud to have served in the 957 ^th HAM (Heavy Auto Maintenance) division in Normandy just after the D-Day battle, and also at the Battle of the Bulge.  Ray married Carmen "Roberta" VanHorn on February 28, 1942, and they shared over 75 years of marriage together.  In his later years, he enjoyed attending Army reunions with his former division members.  Ray attended the Windfall United Methodist Church for many years, and was a member of the Tipton American Legion.  More than anything, Ray loved everything about farming and his family.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
