Carlton passed away on December 1, 2008, at Emory Hospital following a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 72. (Burial Services for the Texas native also will be Tuesday, December 16 at 1:30 p.m. at the Outside Chapel at Restwood Memorial Park, 1038 W. Lake Jackson Dr., Lake Jackson, Texas.)
Carlton was born on April 21, 1936 in Freeport, Texas, to Alice Casbergue Carlton and Dr. Rayman G. Carlton Sr.
He was a graduate of the 1954 Brazosport High School Class before attending the University of Texas at Austin.
Rayman is preceded in death by his parents; his twin sisters, Carolyn Carlton and Lauralyn Carlton Bushager; and aunt, Kay Edwina Casbergue Smith.
He was an early educational and public television pioneer. His time with the Atlanta-based nine-station Georgia public TV network saw it grow from its early days as Georgia Educational Television Network (GETN) broadcasting largely instructional television — used primarily by teachers in classrooms — to Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB), a producer of national public television and radio programs. Jacob Lawrence: American Artist, which aired on public television stations nationwide, is one of the programs Carlton worked on as a producer. He won Emmy Awards for Excellence in Television Programming in the Cultural Affairs Program as Producer and Studio Director for the series Langston, about the poet Langston Hughes. He won an additional Emmy Award as producer of a Magazine Program for the series Georgia Digest.
Carlton is survived by his uncle, John Paul Casbergue of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan; aunt, Eugenia Casbergue, Delray Beach, Florida; and cousins, Paul Casbergue, Decatur, Georgia; Maria Cowan, Charlotte, NC; Lisa Seybert, Littleton, CO; Sylvia Casbergue, of New Orleans, LA; and nieces Carol Bushager of Denver, CO, and Ellen Smitheal of Austin, TX; great nieces and nephew, Emily, Avery and Jacob Smitheal.
