Robert Raymond Obituary

Palmer – Robert P. Raymond, 95, passed away on August 23, 2025, at Baystate Wing Hospital in Palmer. Born in Ware, Massachusetts, on December 22, 1929, he was the son of the late Percy and Germaine (LaBelle) Raymond. Robert grew up and spent his entire life in the Three Rivers section of Palmer. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and later worked for many years at the former Monsanto Company, from which he retired. He was a member of the Western Massachusetts Chapter of the Knights of Columbus. In his leisure time, Robert enjoyed golfing, visiting the casino, bowling, and square dancing. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family. In 2014, Robert was predeceased by his beloved wife, Corrine E. (Bradway) Raymond, and in 2009 by his daughter, Donna Goudreau. He was also predeceased by his brother, Paul Raymond, and his parents. Robert's memory will forever be treasured by his two sons, Fr. David Raymond and Steve Raymond and his wife, Chris, along with four grandchildren: Katie and Josh Raymond, and Sarah and Colby Goudreau. Services were held privately at Beers and Story Palmer Funeral Home.

Always a gentleman. Took me to my first Red Sox game. Couldn't ask for a nicer Uncle.
