Raleigh was a fun-loving father and brother. He was always the life of the party. He loved hunting, golfing, and fishing and was an avid fan of WVU Basketball and Football.

Raleigh graduated WSHS Class of ’57, playing baseball all four years. He then attended Glenville State College playing baseball for two years. Raleigh started working in construction two years on the building of Dulles International Airport in Virginia. From there to Staten Island, NY,  working on the Verazzano-Narrows Bridge connecting Staten Island to New York City. Between these two jobs he would travel home on weekends to play baseball for the Diana and Hacker Valley teams of the Mountain State League as Shortstop and Pitcher. In the 1960’s, his construction experience gave him the opportunity to work for the WV DOH on the I-79 project, Corridor G and Corridor H, specializing in bridge building until his retirement in 2001.
