Raymond Rader Obituary
Passed away unexpectedly on July 23, 2025. He was predeceased by his beloved parents, Robert and Rosemary Rader, and his sister, Rosemary Belcher.
Raymond is survived by his siblings Robert, Betty (Tim Stanford) Barnhardt, Howard, and Faith; as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. He also leaves behind his fiancée, Pamela, and her son, William Neerbasch, who held a special place in his heart.
A proud member of the American Legion Riders, Raymond found joy in camaraderie, community, and the open road. He was an avid fan of super dirt car racing, and he especially treasured time spent camping, surrounded by nature and those he loved.
Family and friends are invited to gather for calling hours on Friday, August 1st, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Farrell-Ryan Funeral & Cremation Services, 777 Long Pond Road, with a service to follow at 7:00 p.m. Burial 11 AM Saturday, August 2 at Riverside Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Honor Flight, an organization close to Raymond’s heart.
