Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Greece: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at age 56. Predeceased by his parents, Arnold and Lucinda; brother, Christopher. Survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Mary Katherine Raymond; daughter, Shannon Raymond (Andrew McGrath); son, Steven Raymond; siblings, Kathleen (Gary) McInvale; brother-in-law, Philip (Valliere) Galletto; sister-in-law, Susan Raymond; mother-in-law, Sara Galletto; niece, Lorraine Konipel; nephew, Andrew (Michele) Galletto; great-niece, Sophia Galletto; many loving cousins, aunts, uncles, dear friends and his families at Eastman Kodak Company and Applegrove Drive. Brian enjoyed gardening, classic cars, music and his ‘Football Sunday’s’. He will be missed by all who knew him. Friends may call Sunday (July 7th) 1-4 PM at Vay-Schleich & Meeson Funeral Home 1075 Long Pond Road, Greece Chapel. His Funeral Service will be held Monday 10:00 AM in the chapel of the funeral home. Interment, Irondequoit Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Cure Childhood Cancer in his memory.
The measure of a man is the way he treats others and lives his life; No finer example of a kinder, gentler, loving man, father or friend than Brian Raymond. He treated all he met with love, compassion, understanding and always open welcoming arms. My heart is broken with his passing.
Dear Mary and family,
Please accept our sincere sympathy. Even that isn’t adequate to explain the sadness we feel for you when we look across the street. We thank God for the opportunity to have known Brian, to wave as we drive by, to yell ‘hi!’ across the street…we have been blessed to have known him. Please know, you are surrounded by people who are ready to help in anyway we can. Praying that those wonderful memories of your 28 yrs. together will be a comfort to you. You are loved greatly!
Everyone that knew Brian was considered a friend. He made us all laugh and welcomed everyone into his circle of enjoying life. He will be heartily missed, but even more strongly remembered. Thank you Brian for the years of great memories and friendship.
Mary and family,
I wish there were words to express how saddened I am to hear of Brian’s passing. You guys were always there for me,still including me in with your family events,activites, etc.. Every time I saw Brian I got one of his big bear hugs, which I will miss! I love you guys and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers xoxo
Mary and family.. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your husband, father and loved one. I am out of town till Thursday but will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. I hope that your strength and wonderful memories will carry you through the dark moments of loss.
Dear Mary, Shannon, Steven, Andrew & Sara,
Words alone can not express the sorrow that we feel in our hearts. Brian was such a dear friend to us all. Walt will miss the countless hours he spent with Brian in the garage. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every second of every day. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family, and anyone who knew Brian.
In closing we would like to leave you a little poem (Author Unknown).
Poem of Life
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow
And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord.
Rest in peace our dear friend Brian. You will surely be missed.
So sorry to hear. I met Bryan briefly, and was looking forward to working with him in Rochester in August as we take over operations of the Kodak utility operations. Our condolences to the family.
Warmly,
