  	Raubenheimer, Thomas "Tuck" A. 86, died peacefully with his family's arms around him on March 17, 2011 in Scottsdale Arizona. Born on December 17, 1924 in Beloit Wisconsin, he moved to Arizona in 1929. He graduated from North High School, then served in the US Army Airborne as a paratrooper during World War II. After an honorable discharge, he studied Fine Art at University of AZ, and while working as a medical illustrator at the University of CA Medical Center, San Francisco, he married the love of his life, Jean N. Sponable and returned to Phoenix in 1957. He then began his 33 year career as a pharmaceutical salesman for Wyeth Laboratories. As an accomplished artist, animal lover and avid outdoorsman, he created many works of art, specializing in oil paintings of Arizona landscapes and wildlife. His work has been on display in art galleries and state government offices throughout the years. He is preceded in death by his wife Jean, brother Lou, and nephew Pete. Tuck is survived by sons, Scott and Mike with his love, Evelyn, daughter and son-inlaw Kim and Doug Mitchell, five grandchildren, Kate, Patrick, Matt, Jason and Sarah, niece Janet and many cousins. The old paratrooper returned in the end with his last words to grandson Matt "are we ready for takeoff?" He then took his final flight and joined our mother Jean in heaven.
