1943-2015

Raymond Patterson

   Raymond Herbert Patterson, 72, of Petitcodiac and recently Jordan Life Care Center, passed away Wednesday, November 18, 2015 at the Moncton Hospital.

  Born in Manhurst, he was the son of the late Roy and Irene (Thorne) Patterson. As a young man Raymond left home and went to Oakville, ON where he worked for the Ford Motor Co. and it was there that he met and married his beloved Ann nee Patterson. They returned to Intervale where they settled and raised their family and Raymond worked for a short time at Cement Cartage. He then went to work as the Manager of the Works Department in the Village of Petitcodiac where he served faithfully for over 25 years until his illness forced retirement. Throughout his tenure as manager he was respected by the village residents and those who worked for him and was always ready to lend a cheerful helping hand. He also served his community as a volunteer with the fire department and in leisure time enjoyed fishing, hunting, working in his garage and spending time with his grandkids and a special young lady, Zhana, a survivor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster, she became part of his family and truly the apple of his eye.

  Survived and sadly missed by his wife of 49 years Ann; children Leeann Maye (Trevor) of Petitcodiac, Gregory of Uganda and Gavin (Hong) of Vietnam; cherished grandchildren Dylan, Macee, Raymond James and Zhana; sisters Linda Marshall of ON, Lois Patterson of Moncton; sister-in-law Dianne Patterson of Petitcodiac and several nieces and nephews.  Predeceased by brother Bob and sister Betty Rhyno.
