Raymond F Cordes Street Sign
This street sign is the next block over from Commander Black's street sign intersecting on Oradell Avenue in
Oradell, New Jersey. Cordes was a resident of Teaneck growing up and his family lived in Dumont at this time of his death yet the people were so moved in Oradell by the event that they named the street after him anyway.
