Raymond P. Bourque

Keep singing in Heaven cousin Ray.RIP

Ray was my Scoutmaster too. But more than that he was family. He was a kind and generous man who was a role model and mentor to many. We shared many a night on Marion Street sitting under the grapevine talking about life. I spoke to him last month and his spirits were high. He was a devoutly religious man. Active for many years in the community and St. Patrick's Parrish. He was loved by all who he touched. He will always be remembered and loved. Ray, may you rest in eternal peace.
