I was his student when I was in bhs 1979-1982. He was a great man. He made a difference in lots of young adult lives.. God Bless you all. Just saw He has passed.

I had Mr. Raffle when I was a freshman at Berea. He was such a great teacher! I can still remember his saying in economics, “There is no such thing as a free lunch”.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Mr. Raffel was my Economics teacher at BHS.  As a child of a high school teacher, I knew the craziness and nonsense that they had to deal with.  I was amazed as to Mr. Raffel's knowledge and totally respected everything he had to say.  I knew he loved the job.  I'm blessed to have had him as my teacher.  

I taught with Mr. Raffel at Berea High School for 20 some odd years.  He was a true professional and cared about his students and their needs not only for education, but for building character.  

I often met him standing in line at the copy machine.  His friendly attitude turned pressures into manageable chores.  

My prayers are  for strength and comfort.

I had Mr. Raffel  for Economics when I was a freshman at Berea High School for Economics. He was an excellent teacher! Prayers for the family! 

So sorry for your loss. Mr. RaffeI and I were colleagues in the social studies department at Berea High for many years. I am praying for all your family during this difficult time.




I worked with Mr. Raffel at Berea High School. He was always professional and a dedicated teacher. He taught my son in geography and suggested to me that he would make a good candidate for the GIS program through USC. I had great respect for him.  

My sympathies to his family.

So sorry for your loss.  I was a student of his at Berea High School.  He was a good teacher, man, and he had a lot of patience.  I know he cared about his student.   May God Bless you all.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.


We were most fortunate to have known and observed 'Mr. Raffel's' teaching skills at Berea High School.  

So sorry for your loss! Many wonderful memories shared with Martin in church, in our home, in their home. He could always provide valuable insight in conversations - very much enjoyed being  in his company. He will be missed.  Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. 
Mark and Trudy Wales
