Raymond Joseph "Ray" Glynn

Raymond Joseph Glynn, 75, of Manhattan, NY passed away peacefully on August 31, 2025.

Born in Queens and raised in Yonkers, Ray was the dear son of the late Robert A. Glynn and Sheila (Flynn) Glynn and the brother of the late Kevin R. Glynn.

Ray was an Iona Prep alumni. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Arts from Franklin & Marshall College, his Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore, and his Masters of Business Administration from Manhattan College. He built a respected career as a Patent and Trademark attorney and is a current member of the New York State Bar. Although what truly defined Ray, was his generosity, humor, and dedication to others.

For over 40 years, Ray was a devoted member of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church. It was there that he not only gave back to his community but also formed many lasting and important friendships that meant so much to so many. He was among the first to volunteer when Crossroads Community Services was founded, serving in those early years as a shelter volunteer and delivering food for distribution to soup kitchen guests.

Ray also served at St. Bart's as an usher and was always there to offer a friendly welcome to people at the door. Into retirement, he continued to serve the New York City area with his warmth and compassion for others in need. He was also a proud member of the New York Athletic Club.

Ray had a quick wit, a kind heart, and a gift for making people feel welcome. He was deeply devoted to his family and especially cherished being "Uncle Ray" to his nieces, nephew, and great-nieces and nephew.

He is survived by his sister-in-law, Regina Glynn, and her children, Cathy Cardew (Greg), Robert Glynn (Danielle), and Laura Cannizzaro (Scott), along with his great-nephew and nieces and his beloved companion, Holly Bellows. He will also be missed by his many cousins and countless friends who loved him dearly.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 12, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, 325 Park Avenue, New York, NY.
