of Vestal
Raymond Cubic, age 64, died suddenly of a heart attack Tuesday, November 20th, at Wilson Hospital in Johnson City, New York. He was predeceased by his parents, Albert and Clara Cubic, Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. He is survived by his wife, Suzanne; his son and daughter-in-law, Scott and Wendy Cubic, Binghamton; his daughter and son-in-law, Christine and Gregg Machovec, Vestal; his grandchildren, Ashley, Jonathan, and Margaret; his brother, Ronald Cubic, Wooster, Ohio; and his sister, Donna Siggelow, Mercer, Pennsylvania, and her children, David, Kimberly, and Kevin. Ray retired as a manager at IBM Corporation in July, 1992. He was a loving husband and a beloved father, grandfather, and uncle. His skill as a handyman kept him busy helping family and friends alike with any chore, no matter how big or small. He was an avid gardener. He delighted in working in his own greenhouse. Ray was a passionate golfer and he sponsored his own annual Cubic Open golf tournament. Ray's days at his cottage on Skaneateles Lake were among the most precious to him. He took great pride in maintaining the cottage, and he enjoyed fishing and boating. His lake friends nicknamed him "The Mayor" and the title fit him perfectly. Ray was an accomplished genealogist, a hobby that led him on many adventures. Anyone who knew him knows how much he loved to tell stories about his travels.
Respecting his wishes, there will be no calling hours or funeral services. A gathering of friends and family will be observed at a later date.
