Raymond Anthony Magaldi

Ray was born on November 23, 1942 in Hartford, the son of Anthony and Lena (Giannone) Magaldi. He spent most of his early childhood years in South Florida and graduated Curley High School in 1961 located in Miami. He joined the Army a few years later where he served for nearly four years, with the majority of his time spent in Germany. He later migrated to CT where he met Gail Schweizer for the first time. They later married on August 17, 1968 and were happily married for over 40 years when Gail passed in 2011.

Ray worked with Hartford Tool and Die for several years before starting his own company, Industrial Resources Incorporated. He was self-employed and semi-retired at the time of his passing.

Ray loved life and cherished time with his friends and family. He loved to travel, sit on the beach in his beach chair overlooking the beautiful Long Island Sound and boating. He was a lover of life, a friend to all and always there to lend a hand to anyone in need. He was a son, brother, father, grandfather, husband, partner, coach, master grill chef and so much more. Ray cherished his travels with Janet and had fond memories of their time in Italy, New Zealand, South Africa and Georgia. He will be missed by all.

Ray leaves behind his son Michael and his wife Margaret Magaldi, daughter Christine and her husband Kevin Rutty, Grandchildren Jake, Julia, William and Landon, his brother Richard Magaldi, and his loving partner, of the last 11 years, Janet Aimone and her family.
