jarruda144 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Got this e-mail today he will be missed. Good day to everyone. Today I received the following email and felt the need to share... Dear friends, This letter is to let you know that we have lost a dear member of our scrollsawing family. Raymond Wilckens, of Wilckens Woodworking, passed away unexpectedly last Saturday evening, September 17. Raymond, and his Son, Dan, have been producing fabulous scrollsaw patterns & projects for many years. Many of you have purchased patterns from them, have seen their work in Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine, and most likely met Raymond and his wife Betty, and Dan and his wife Tammy, at scrollsaw picnics & shows across the country. Raymond was a fantastic scrollsawer, cutting out many hundreds, if not thousands of projects over the years. He has been a huge part of the scrollsawing community, and he played a major role in making the hobby as popular as it is today. He will be greatly missed! Here are details about Raymond's Visitation & Funeral Services: The Visitation will be held Wednesday evening, September 21, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 17200 E. 39th St. S., Independence, Missouri. The Funeral will be held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church on Thursday, September 22 at 10:30AM. Luncheon to follow after service and burial in Higginsville Cemetery, Higginsville, Missouri. All arrangements are being handled by Speaks Family Legacy Chapel, 1501 W. Lexington Avenue, Independence, Missouri 64052. They will accept any floral deliveries for Raymond. Mailing address for Mrs. Betty Wilckens is 4912 Phelps Rd, Kansas City, Missouri 64136. Mailing address for Dan Wilckens is 603 Whitestone Dr, Grain Valley, Missouri 64029 Please keep the Wilckens family in your thoughts & prayers. I know they would enjoy hearing from everyone in our scrollsawing community, and will greatly appreciate your caring and support.

Travis Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I've seen some of his patterns. Amazing talent. I'm sorry to hear he's not with us any more. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. Thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
