He is also survived by many nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved dearly and bragged about often. Being a lifelong resident of Leominster, Raymond took much pride in his family’s history there. He spent many years of his life working as a roofer as well as in multiple factories in the city, thus making many friends along the way. If you knew Raymond you knew his love for the Three Stooges and his ability to always find a perfect quote from them to make you laugh. He enjoyed all Boston sports and never missed watching a game on tv or listening to it on the radio. He was also an avid classic rock fan and took a special interest in The Rolling Stones. He had a knowledge for music like you wouldn’t believe. Raymond’s family wants all who knew him to remember him fondly. And when we meet again we know he will be there to welcome us saying “HEY YOU GUYYYS!“ Calling hours will be held on Tuesday, December 3rd from 11-12 with the funeral service beginning at 12 at Simard Funeral Home. A private family burial to follow. In lieu of flowers the family kindly requests donations be made to Ginny’s Helping Hand Inc. in Raymond’s name. Simard Funeral Home, 14 Walker St., Leominster is assisting the family with arrangements.
