Raymond Tetreault Obituary
"Coach T"
Raymond was born in Greenfield, MA on Halloween, 1935. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side on December 4, 2018 following a heart attack he suffered November 28, 2018. Ray served in the US Army for 23 years, including two deployments to Vietnam. He enlisted as a Specialist 3 and retired as a Lt. Colonel in 1979. After his career in the Army, he spent 21 years as a teacher and football coach at Amphitheater High School in Tucson. He was fondly known by students on and off the field as "Coach T". After retiring as a teacher he spent several more years working for Jim Click Dealerships as a courier. Ray enjoyed all sports. He excelled in football, basketball and baseball in high school. After moving to Tucson in the early 70's, he began officiating youth, junior high and high school football, basketball and baseball games. His passion was golf. He spent several days a week on the golf course, including the morning of his heart attack. Ray is survived by his wife of 61 years, Martha; his daughters, Michelle, Cheryl, Cathy, Charlotte and his son, Martin, as well as numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 8, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at Christ the King Episcopal Church, 2800 W. Ina Road in Tucson. In lieu of flowers, Ray would've liked a donation made to your favorite Veterans charity or the American Heart Association.

Dear Martha and family. I was very sad to hear about Ray. He was a good. Kind man with a great personality. I know he will be missed by many. I am so sorry I haven't been in touch with with you all sooner. Please know that you and Ray were thought of slot during the passing years. I saw Dale and her husband once in Show Low. I've seen Caryl Rzonca in Show Low and here. I've had some medical issues. But, I'm hoping we can get together soon. Let me know how you are doing. Love and best your friend, Maxine (Hammond) McInerney. God bless you and your family.

Words can not express the pain that you are feeling right now. May the God who binds up the broken-hearted and comforts all who mourn, sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2
