While he spent many years as a professional plumber, those who knew him can attest he was truly a jack-of-all-trades. He could call himself a mechanic, electrician, carpenter, roofer, landscaper, and much more – even an ice rink Zamboni operator. Overall, he was incredibly skilled and the epitome of hard-working throughout his entire life.
Raymond is survived by his beloved wife of 39 years, Carole Morse, and his two sons, Raymond and Christopher. Raised in a sizable family of 5 brothers and 2 sisters, and marrying into a wonderful family of in-laws, he will be missed by countless nieces and nephews who called him Uncle Ray for many years.
Selfless and caring, Raymond will be remembered as a man who put his loved ones first and would give anything to make their lives even just a little bit better. He was relentless and tough, battling kidney disease for 16 years and overcoming obstacle after obstacle to continue to be there for his family and by their side, much to their incredible appreciation and gratitude. His work ethic and willpower were a sight to behold and truly an inspiration to those around him.
