Passed away, November 4, 2026, with his children by his side. Predeceased by his beloved wife Josephine in 2014. Survived by his children, son Raymond (Deborah), daughters, Michele (Scott) Seavy, Joanne VanEpps, Carol (Kenneth) Hagen, 16 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren - plus 2 expected soon, and 1 great-great-grandchild; sister Florence Matty; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
He was a man of so much love. Love for his wife, who he missed dearly, and love for his family and having everyone together. He enjoyed good food, especially linguini and clam sauce, a Southern Comfort Manhattan before dinner, wine with dinner, and a Drambuie after dinner. And he loved Notre Dame football, making many trips to South Bend over the last 45 years. His smiling face made friends and fun in any room. He will be missed more than words can say.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in his name to the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
