Robert Raymond Obituary
He was born in Concord, NH on October 27, 1953 the son of the late Edward P. Raymond, Sr. and Sally (Danforth) Wheeler.
Bo lived most of his life in Bradford, graduating from Kearsarge Regional High School, North Sutton, NH in 1972. He worked at the Bradford IGA since 1965 and was owner and operator from 1984-1996. He had been a parttime Bradford Police Officer for many years and most recently had been site superintendent for Relax & Co. Bruss Construction for about 20 years.
Bo had been a firefighter and Deputy Chief of the Bradford Fire Department from 1973-1999. He was Deputy Fire Warden for the State of NH for over 15 years. Bo received the Citizen of the Year Award in Bradford in 1996. He enjoyed hunting and fishing with his boys and had a great time cruising and spending weekends away with Karen. Family was most important to Bo and he loved to spend time with his precious grandchildren. He'd never turn anyone down who needed help.
He is survived by his wife and partner of 23 years, Karen B. Losik. He was an amazing father to Jared and Laura Raymond, Josh Raymond, Matthew and Catherine Raymond, Jacob, Andy and Eve Lanigan. Bo had been a surrogate father to Adam Devine and was a grandfather to Carter, Cooper, Calhan and Nora. He was a brother and uncle to Edward and Karen Raymond and their children, Paul, Stephen and Samantha, James and Margaret Raymond and their daughters, Megan and Kathryn, Paula Patten and her daughters, Robyn and Jamie, Heidi and Leo Hersh and their daughter, Emily and Brian Wheeler and his sons, Adam and Cameron. He was loved by many including his father-in-law; brothers and sisters-in-law and nieces and nephews.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, September 20, 2019 from 1:00-3:00 P.M. at the Appleseed Restaurant, 63 High Street, Bradford, NH 03221.
Memorial contributions may be made to Bradford Newbury Sutton Youth Sports, P.O. 291, Bradford, NH 03221.

Want to send my love and prayers to the Raymond families, Eddie, Jimmy & Paula. The Raymond boys were a special caring group. I lived in Bradford for many years and worked with Eddie for many years at the telephone company and Jimmy was always there for me. The Town of Bradford has lost a great person and he will truly be missed!!

I've lost other friends, but damn - this one hits hard. A good friend and neighbor to all. Bag-boys together at the Igga in Bradford, my mom always said he was the most-polite of all my friends. A wild-man driving Carl's Corvair - never been so scared! And a helluva hook-shot too! Certain that Ed Sr., Sally, Junior, Unc, and the Ol' Mugwump are there to welcome him Home. RIP friend Bo.
