STAAB, RAYMOND CHARLES - 77, after a long courageous battle with heart disease was carried to heaven by the angels on Tuesday the 9th day of August, 2011. Born on May 13, 1934, he leaves his loving and devoted wife of 50 years, Rebecca Ferrell Staab. Mr. Staab also leaves a daughter and son-in-law, Dr. Robert and Stephanie Staab Tatum and a son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Vickie Staab, all of Knoxville. Raymond also leaves three grandchildren Becca E. Criswell wife of Brandon Criswell, Drew Ensor and Holly Staab. In addition he leaves four step grandchildren Jeff Tatum, Jennifer Tatum, Derek Abner and Brittney Abner as well as five step great grandchildren. Also surviving him are his sister, Jo Ann Pickering of Columbia, South Carolina and brother and sister-in-law, Tommy and Donna Treadwell of Knoxville, Tennessee. He was also blessed with many loving nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death were his mother and stepfather, Gladys Staab Treadwell and Thomas B. Treadwell. Known by all as a fair, firm and extremely generous man, those who were struggling really tugged at his "heartstrings." His love of big game hunting led to many high adventures and trophies. Raymond loved to travel even visiting his favorite place, China and the Far East. He was also a leading sports figure growing up in West Virginia. He captained the football team at Stonewall Jackson High School, graduating in 1953. After receiving many college scholarships offers, he chose to play football for the Seminoles of Florida State University. A native of Charleston, West Virginia, Raymond moved his family to Knoxville, Tennessee in 1965 to continue his career with the Shoney's Big Boy Franchise. He became President and CEO of Shoney's, winning many national awards. He retired from Shoney's in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1994, selling the company to the employees.
