With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Raymond Patenaude Sr., a devoted husband, proud father, grandfather, great-grandfather, passionate gardener, and avid motorcycle enthusiast. He passed away peacefully on June 1 at the age of 75, surrounded by the love of his family. He leaves behind his wife of 49 years, Suzanne; his children, Carol (Kevin), Lonnie, Dale (Erin), Judy, Donald (Heather), Laurie-Lyne (Luke), Raymond Jr. (Bonnie), Brian (Orecia), Mathieu; 17 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind 3 sisters, Cecile (the late Rick), Lilianne (John), Aline (Andre), and 3 brothers, Maurice (Mary), Andre (Monique), and Gaetan. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ovila and Irene and 2 sisters, Jackie (the late Lionel) and Claudette (the late Eddy). His family was the center of his world, and his steady presence, big hugs, and wise advice will be missed every day. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date and in lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Canadian Lung Association in his memory. Arrangements are entrusted to the Graham Giddy Funeral Home, 280 St. David Street South, Fergus.
