So, you think you know us? My name is Bill Raffel and I have been married to Rosanne (Rosie) for the past 46 years. We have two children who no longer live at home. Brian (40) graduated with a BBA from UW-Milwaukee in May, 2007. Becca (43) graduated from NOVA Southeastern University, in Fort Lauderdale, with two Masters Degrees in May 2006. In May of 2017 Becca graduated from Michigan State University as a Veterinarian; we have a Doctor in the family! At home we have a cat which keeps us company. Rosie and I are retired, and we are living the good life.
In May 2021, Rosie and I purchased a new forever home (a condo) in Fort Lauderdale, FL. We are living next to Port Everglades, the cruise port in Fort Lauderdale. We now have a home in the best of both worlds, no winters and close to cruise ships!
