Raymond Bianchini Obituary

Raymond Edward Bianchini, Sr. was peacefully called home to the Lord on July 14, 2019, at the age of 81. Loving husband of 62 years, Raymond is survived by his "Little Darling", Lynda Morgan Bianchini. He is preceded in death by his parents, Walter C. Bianchini, Sr. and Gladys Fink Bianchini; siblings, Walter C. Bianchini, Jr., Rosemary Leonardi, and Merlin Bianchini. Raymond is survived by his sister Gladys Mae Danahay, along with his children Debbie Coyle (the late Bickey), Donna Tully (Terry), Sherri Scallan (Mike) and Ray, Jr. (Gwen); loving PawPaw to John, Eric (Gia), Brandon (Michelle), Chris (Jessica), Ashley (Ryan), Blake, Alyssa, Terence, Brandt, and Trent; loving great grandfather to Tatum, Saylor, Scotland, Carson, Morgan, Luke, and Jude; Maddy, John, Guilianna, and Charles. Longtime resident of Metairie, Raymond was born on August 23, 1937, and raised in New Orleans. He graduated from Holy Cross High School in 1955 and was drafted by the New York Yankees organization in 1956. His love for sports would continue long after he decided to hang up his cleats. He was an avid LSU fan and an original Saints season ticket holder. Raymond dedicated 30 years to being a successful Allstate sales agent, while traveling the world with his beloved Lynda. While he loved sports, his dedication to God started at Holy Cross and continued as a parishioner of St. Mary Magdalen Church. A natural born leader, who was adored by all who had the privilege of knowing him, Raymond's mission in life was to be the best husband, father, and grandfather to his growing family. He exemplified everything a man should be: selfless, loyal, courageous, and loving follower of Jesus. Raymond's numerous challenges through the years were a testament to the faith, strength, and love he had for life and all its blessings, none more important than God and his family. Raymond served many organizations and clubs such as Diamond Club of Greater New Orleans – Hall of Fame Inductee of 1996, Italian American Marching Club, Krewe of Atlas, Colonial Country Club, St. Mary Magdalen's Men's Club, Shephards' Club, Beer Barrel Social Club, and Sierra Club. Raymond will be remembered for his kind heart and the love he had for his family. He will be greatly missed by all. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation on Friday, July 19, 2019, at 11 am at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., followed by the Funeral Mass at 3 pm, and interment will follow at All Saints Mausoleum. The family invites you to share your thoughts, fond memories, and condolences online at www.lakelawnmetairie.com.

To Ray's entire family, I extend my deepest sympathy on his passing. In his later years we were golfing buddies and one that it was a pleasure to swing a club with. I was fortunate to be able to call him my friend. May he RIP

For He Will Raise Him Up On Eagle's Wings,
Bear Him On The Breath Of Dawn,
Make Him To Shine Like The Sun,
And Hold Him In The Palm Of HIS Hand.
