Raymond was a beacon of integrity and strength within his family and the community. He dedicated 20 years of his early life to serving his country in the Coast Guard, a testament to his unwavering commitment to service. Upon retirement, Pauline and he founded a small but successful real estate business that flourished for 30 years under his and her diligent stewardship.
His life was a tapestry of deep love, hard work, and meaningful connections. He was a devoted husband to his late wife, Pauline, with whom he shared a beautiful life of bounty, hardship, and joy. Together, they were the proud parents of 5 children and grandparents to 16 grandchildren, who brought immeasurable joy and laughter into his life.
In his later years, Raymond found renewed happiness and companionship with Judy Willis. Judy inspired him to embrace new adventures, and together, they shared five years of love, travel, and joy.
Ray's dedication to family took him on numerous trips to Europe, and he made special visits to see his children and grandchildren in Spain, Norway, Argentina, France, Iceland, Bermuda, and London, creating lasting memories with each journey. Raymond was a voracious reader who valued an organized life. His conservative views were always presented with respect and openness to reasoned debate, demonstrating his profound respect for others' opinions. A lover of card games, he spent countless hours playing with his children and grandchildren, instilling in them the values of honesty, strategy, and family unity.
For over 50 years, Raymond stood as the respected patriarch of the Laliberte clan, a role he held with honor and grace. Affectionately addressed as "Pepere" or "Ray" all who knew him will forever cherish the lessons he taught, the love he shared, and the legacy he leaves behind.
