Raymond W. Gundlach

Raymond W. "Ray" Gundlach died on Dec. 4, 2002, at the age of 91. Born on Oct.
25, 1911, in Portland, Ore., he graduated from high school in Dixon and moved to
Davis in 1934.

He was a pilot all his life, having flown many types of aircraft from Jennys to
jets. Active in aviation as a teenager flying biplanes, he bought an Eaglerock
biplane in 1932 and joined United Airlines in 1940. He flew Boeing 247s, DC-3s,
4s, 6s, 7s and 8s until he retired with 24,000 hours in 1968.

He was one of the first individuals to make a deposit on a unit in the planned
Davis University Retirement Community, where he lived with his wife, Doriet
Simonson Gundlach, during the past 21/2 years.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Grace Cecil Gundlach, a native of
Davis, after 46 years of marriage.

He is survived by his second wife of 14 years, Doriet Simonson Gundlach,
daughters Bertie McElroy of Watsonville, Maryanne Grobe of Edina, Minn., and son
Raymond Gundlach Jr. of Sacramento. He is also survived by six grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren.

In keeping with his quiet and personal nature, he requested there be no
services, neither grave side nor memorial.

Arrangements are under the direction of Davis Funeral Chapel.
