Raymond Ross Obituary

Raymond Ross
Raymond A. Ross, age 66, passed away on March 7, 2025. He was born February 3, 1959, in Milford, Connecticut to Lee Ross and the late Al Ross.
Ray graduated from Amity High School in Woodbridge where he was a bass player in a rock band. Ray was pressman and later the owner of Ross Copy & Print in West Haven for over 30 years. Through his dedication to the community, he was elected the Exalted Ruler of the West Haven Elks Lodge 1537 and a member of the Chamber of Commerce. On a nice summer day, you could find Ray at the beach reading a book.
Ray was devoted to his family. He is survived by his mother, Lee, his sister Lin (Greg Deemy); sons, Ray (Krista), and Matt (Melissa) and their mother Toni Ross, 6 grandchildren whom he adored and a nephew Greg Deemy (Reneé). He is predeceased by his father Al, his brother Bill, and his partner Tina Balboni.
He will be missed by his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. He always had a smile on his face, he made your heart smile, and was always ready to help anyone in need.

Ray was a huge influence in my music career, when I was 12 I would watch his band Mantis, of which my brother was the drummer, rehearse at my house , I thought those guys were the coolest thing on the planet with their big amps , bell bottoms and long hair. And they were !!! I hope Ray and my brother meet up for a jam wherever they may be.
