Obituaries
Donald A. Raymond
Donald A. Raymond, 61, of Barnstead, died Wednesday, September 5,
2012, at the Catholic Medical Center in Manchester after a herculean
two and a half year battle with advanced colon cancer. Don’s
positive attitude throughout the fight was an inspiration to his
family and friends, as well as his caregivers.
Don left this
world secure in his faith in God and surrounded by loving family.
As witnessed by the scores of friends who were able to say goodbye
to Don in his last days with us, he retained his incredible sense of
humor to the end.
Born October 29, 1950 to Andre Paul Raymond
and Vargee Malatras, Don was a 1968 graduate of Pembroke Academy.
Don served his country as a member of the NH Air National Guard from
1968 to 1974.
Don retired from General Electric in Hooksett in
December of 2011 after 43 years as a tool and die maker. Because of
his expertise as a fabricator, Don was sought out by his co-workers
to create tools and techniques that helped streamline their jobs.
Don loved working with his hands and especially enjoyed restoring
cars and trucks.
Because of Don’s participation in clinical
research trials for cutting edge cancer therapy at the Norris Cotton
Cancer Center and his unprecedented successes fighting the disease,
Don was recognized at the 2012 Congressional Briefing on Cancer
Research Funding in June. In a quote from Dr. Gerald Gehr of the
Cancer Center during the hearings, “Don’s life proves that cancer
therapy is worthwhile. He is the face of cancer research.”
Don is survived by his wife and soul mate of 35 years, Renee (Bonenfant)
Raymond of Barnstead; his son, Matthew Raymond of Barnstead; his
mother, Theresa (Yeaton) Raymond of Allenstown; a brother, William
Raymond of Bow; five nieces and a nephew; and an extended family of
loving in-laws. Don was predeceased by his father Andre.
Friends
and family are invited to share in a celebration of Don’s life on
Sunday, September 9 from 1-4 pm at the Still Oaks Funeral & Memorial
Home, 1217 Suncook Valley Highway in Epsom. Memorial services
will take place on Monday at 11:00 am at the Epsom Bible Church, 398
Black Hall Road, Epsom. As a tribute to Don’s love of life and
unwavering positive attitude, the family requests, in lieu of
wearing black, those attending wear bright, cheerful colors in his
honor.
For those who wish, donations may be made in Don’s name to
the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, One Medical Center Drive, Lebanon,
NH 03756, or the Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Assoc., 30
Pillsbury Street, Concord, NH 03301.
Family and friends may sign
an on-line guestbook by visiting
