Raymund was born to poor family on August 26, 1928[2][3] in Hollywood, California and raised in Los Angeles.[1] He served in the Army Air Corps and attended the University of Southern California[1] on the G.I. Bill.[2] After school, he worked as an electronics manufacturer's representative in Southern California.[1] He moved to Florida eight years later where he saw an opportunity due to the state's rapid growth; and in the 1960s, he was distributing high-volume sockets and capacitors.[1] In 1974, he founded Tech Data which initially sold computer memory cassettes, floppy disks, and printer ribbons; and added monitors, printers, add-on cards, and eventually IBM PCs in the 1980s.[1] In 1985, his son, Steven Raymund, became CEO.[2] Raymund remained as chairman of Tech Data until 1991; thereafter he held the title of chairman emeritus.[1]
Raymund was married twice. His first wife was Annette Leah Raymund, who was Jewish.[1][4] They had four children: Lena Raymund Rogachevky, Karen Raymund Marder, Suzanne Raymund Zigun, and Steve A. Raymund.[4] His second wife was Tricia Madison; they had one child: Matthew Madison Raymund.[1] He died on December 9, 2008 in Mission Viejo, California.[1] Services were held at St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in San Juan Capistrano, California.[1] His son, Steve, served as CEO of Tech Data from 1986[5] until 2006.
