Raymond "Skipper" G. Post Jr., FAIA

November 3, 1939 – March 14, 2025

 

On behalf of all who knew Raymond "Skipper" G. Post Jr., FAIA, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. Skipper was a visionary leader who transformed our profession and community through his exceptional work and inspiring mentorship.

From revitalizing Baton Rouge's downtown to serving as the 72nd president of the American Institute of Architects, Skipper’s legacy is one of excellence, resilience, and purpose. His passion for architecture and his deep connections with others left an indelible mark on every life he touched, every project he led, and every future architect he inspired. Skipper’s lifelong service and dedication to the profession was recognized with the 2025 AIA Kemper Award – his family will accept the award on his behalf at AIA25 in June. 

While we mourn his loss, we honor a life filled with wisdom, kindness, and boundless dedication to his craft, family, and community.
