    SAN BERNARDINO, CALIF. — The San Bernardino Valley Water Conservation Board has announced the passing of District Director Colonel David E. Raley, USAF, retired. Raley started serving the District in December 2009 and was also active as a representative of the California Special Districts Association Fiscal and Audit Committees.

    “He was my go-to guy for finance and budget. I could be assured that he had eagle eyes on the numbers. He saw things in a visionary way because he was such an independent thinker,” says Melody McDonald, District Board President. “My fellow directors and I will miss him greatly.”

    Raley volunteered with the Redlands Police Department and also served actively with the Democratic Luncheon Club of San Bernardino. Club President Timothy Prince, Esq., says, “Dave was a valued and vital contributor to our Club, a close friend, and he will be greatly missed.”

    In memory of David E. Raley and his wife, Diane, their children have established an endowed scholarship at Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, California. Director Raley served as a Director of the Crafton Hills College Foundation Board for 29 years, and his wife was an alumna of Crafton Hills College. All donations will contribute to the endowment, which will provide an annual student scholarship.

    A memorial service for Director Raley will be held at Emerson Bartlett funeral home (703 Brookside Ave in Redlands) on June 29 at 10:30 AM, with a potluck afterwards.
