     Raymond Felix Jaskot was born on June 21,1933 on the home farm in the town of Reseburg, rural Thorp, to Joseph and Mary (Olszowik) Jaskot, one of 13 children.  He was raised on the family farm and received his education in the town of Reseburg.  Raymond was united in marriage to Melva J. Buchholz on June 3,1961 at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Cornell.  He lived and farmed his entire life with his brother, Albin, on the family dairy farm.
     He had many interests, but especially loved fishing when he was younger, watching Chicago Cubs baseball, playing cards, and doing Sudoku puzzles.
