In memory

MSOE was saddened to learn of the death of Ray W. Palmer ’68 on Oct. 5, a long-time professor and administrator at MSOE, including chairman of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department, and two-time interim vice president of academics before retiring in 2004.

Throughout his career Palmer received many awards and honors, including MSOE’s Oscar Werwath Distinguished Teacher Award, the 2004 Distinguished Alumnus of the Year award, MSOE Professor Emeritus status and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Memorial Award. He also was a consultant to numerous companies and had industrial experience with Allen-Bradley/Rockwell. He held a patent for a digital alarm system. We extend our condolences to his wife, Sharon, son, Mark (Dawn) Palmer, daughter, Nicole (Paul) Schmitt, and other family and friends. Memorials are being accepted for the Ray Palmer Endowed Scholarship Fund at MSOE (MSOE Development Office, 1025 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202).
