Raymond Eugene McCagg

Raymond Eugene McCagg, age 88, passed away on July 13, 2025 in Quincy, Massachusetts. He was born August 8,1936 in Brockport, NY to George and Elizabeth McCagg and was one of three children.

Ray dedicated his life to his family and the community. He taught math at Honeoye Falls High School for 22 years and enjoyed coaching and refereeing several sports including tennis, basketball and volleyball for various ages of children. Ray earned a Masters degree in both Education and Mathematics from the University of Rochester and University of South Carolina. Undergraduate studies were completed at Roberts Wesleyan College where so many life-long friendships began. Ray married Donna Marie Murdock in 1959, whom he lost to cancer in 2019.

Earning the nickname of "Recreational Ray", he would play any game available, truly enjoying the activity and placing importance on fairness and sportsmanship ahead of winning and losing. He was active in the Honeoye Falls Methodist Church for several decades and participated in countless local and regional outreach events in the spirit of fellowship and humanity. He loved playing cards and telling corny jokes.

He is survived by his daughter, Marty McCagg of Quincy, MA, his son Mark McCagg (Tammie) of Charlotte, NC, his granddaughter Hallie McCagg and Ilva Hamzaj, his exchange student-turned-second-granddaughter, of Albania.

There will be a few minutes during the share and prayer time at Honeoye Falls United Methodist Church on Sunday, August 3rd, to voice memories of Ray.

In lieu of flowers, as there will be no formal service, you may consider a donation to Honeoye Falls United Methodist Church or Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY.
