Raymond B Strozewski Sr.

Raymond B. Strozewski Sr. 94, of Hull, Massachusetts passed away on December 19, 2024 at South Shore Hospital after a long illness. Born in Buffalo, New York in 1930, Raymond was the devoted son of Bernard and Stephanie Strozewski. He is survived by his adoring wife of 70 years Elizabeth "Beth" Strozewski, daughters Deborah Anderson of South Easton, Donna and Edward Woods of Hull, Laurel and Matthew Cheever of Kingston and sons Raymond Jr. and Carol Strozewski of Bridgton, Maine, Jeffrey and Denise Strozewski of Braintree, and Michael and Angela Strozewski of Concord, New Hampshire; Cherished DjaDja to 14 grandchildren, Christopher(Jennifer), Scott(Erin), the late Edward III, Jennifer(Ryan), Brian(Veronica), Thomas(Cassandra), David(Nicole), Erica, Kyle(Katee), Zachary(Olivia), Chadwick, Cameron, Nathan(Erin), Jacob, and 11 great grandchildren, Tatum, Chase, Halle, Brooke, Riley, Ashley, Lucy, Calliope, Aiden, Maddison and Callan.
Ray graduated from St. Francis High School and attended Niagara University excelling in baseball. He proudly served active duty in the United States Marine Corp from 1950-1954 in the Korean War as an infantry sergeant being twice wounded. Ray never spoke of his service to our country, only that it was his absolute honor to serve our country. He said his fellow soldiers and other veterans were his true heroes and were much more deserving than he. Ray met his bride-to-be, Beth at his Marine Ball at the Worrick Mansion in Hull and they devoted their lives to each other from that point on. After being honorably discharged, Ray and Beth started their family of 6 and he began a 30 plus year career as a manager with New England Telephone. Retiring in 1986, Ray and Beth moved to Venice, Florida for the winter months while summering in Hull. In 2010, they moved back to Hull to spend more time with their family.
Ray was devoted to his wife and family, always full of joy and gratitude for the life God blessed him with. His main mottos were "Family Forever", "God Bless America" and "May the Sun Shine Down Upon You". He was an avid reader, an all around handyman and always willing to help anyone without expecting or wanting anything in return. He was all about love and guidance to others. He was a straight shooter and always told it like it was. Ray, Honey, Dad, DjaDja, Big Ray, Uncle Ray will always be lovingly remembered by all that were blessed to know him.
Services will be attended by immediate family members only, with a final burial at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne, which will be announced at a future date. All those that knew and loved Ray will be invited to this burial service.
