Raymond Angel, M.D. 69 of Lebanon, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by

Jane Angel. He was preceded in death by
his beloved sister Elizabeth Smith of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. James was educated in the farms and fields of
Marion County in his youth, but also graduated valedictorian of Lebanon High
School class of 1968. He attended the
University of Kentucky where he obtained the remarkable 99th percentile score
on the national annual chemistry placement exam, but chose to leave college
early in 1971 to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. He graduated at the top of his class from the
Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans in 1975 and completed his
Urology residency training through Tulane University at Charity Hospital in New
Orleans in 1980. His list of academic
accomplishments included being named to the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha
medical honor society, winning the Tulane Medical School Owl Club Teaching
Award, and he was the National Kidney Foundation and American Urologic Association
Scholar in 1977.
James
left New Orleans and returned home to central Kentucky and founded his private
practice in Campbellsville, Kentucky in 1980.
He served the communities of central Kentucky tirelessly as a practicing
physician and Urologic surgeon for 38 years before retiring in 2018. He performed hundreds of thousands of
surgeries, and was a passionate member of the medical staff of Taylor County

decades. He was instrumental in the
creation of The Cancer Center at Taylor Regional Hospital and founder of Taylor
Regional Urology which continues his legacy of medical service in central
Kentucky.
An
intrepid adventurer and traveler, James explored the world but always was drawn
back to Kentucky. A lifelong farmer, he
was also an avid outdoorsman and conservationist and served as an appointed
Commissioner of the Department of Fish and Wildlife for Kentucky’s Fourth
District for 13 years. He volunteered
much of his free time to the protection of Kentucky’s fish and wildlife, and
cultivation of the next generation of adventurers through his time as a
Commissioner and also as an Assistant Scoutmaster with local Boy Scout Troop
616. His varied interests and fields of
practical expertise included agriculture, hunting, fishing, chemistry and
astronomy and he was a lifelong booster of University of Kentucky sports.
His interests may have revolved around the farm and the outdoors, but his true passion has always been his family. He met his soulmate, a young nurse at Taylor County Hospital named Sherri Sapp who became his wife in 1982. Over the course of 38 years of marriage and love they were blessed with a large family.
