B. Raymond Naccarati

B. Raymond Naccarati, 77, of Plum formerly of Wilkins Township, went Home to the Lord Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, surrounded by his loving family. He was the son of the late Blase and Caroline (Chianese) Naccarati; beloved husband of 45 years of Lillian (Sage) Naccarati; loving father of Michelle (David) Naccarati-Chapkis, Angela (Chris) Hunter, Vincent Naccarati and Elise Naccarati; loving grandfather of Sofia, Dominic, Caroline, Julia, Maria and Aidan; brother of Carl (Marion) Naccarati, of Penn Hills, Letitia (Frank) Valletta, of West Deer, and the late Richard, Donald and Robert (infant) Naccarati; brother-in-law of James (Betty) Sage, Rose Marie (James) McShane and the late William (Ann) Sage, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and dear loving friends including Michael and Verna Madden. Ray earned his master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. He was a police officer for 25 years and retired as Chief of Police of Wilkins Township. He was founder and director of Suburban Academy of Law Enforcement and an instructor at Community College of Allegheny County, Boyce Campus and Allegheny Campus. He taught at Point Park University, Duquesne University and the University of Pittsburgh. Ray was a member of Plum Creek/Monroeville Masonic Lodge No. 799, the Western Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, Allegheny County Chiefs of Police, and the Western Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police and served on numerous advisory committees and community boards. Ray's Catholic values were witnessed through his dedication and service to others and the community. He educated and inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of students. Ray was devoted to his family and feline friends, "Scooter" and "Bo." "Pappy" loved his time with family, vacationing at Myrtle Beach, spending time in the outdoors especially in his garden, fishing on local streams and lakes, listening to and attending operas and preparing Italian feasts. He was our extraordinary hero. We would like to acknowledge the care and support he received from the staff at Forbes Regional Hospital. Friends will be received from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 1 to 4 and 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the JOBE FUNERAL HOME and CREMATORY INC., corner of 118 Shaw and Triboro avenues, Turtle Creek (412-823-1950).
