RAYNHAM – William Raymond, 57, of Raynham, MA, passed away on June 29, 2023. He was born on February 25, 1966, in Stoughton, MA, to the late Ernest and Marie Raymond. William was a devoted employee to Podgurski Corp. and worked tirelessly throughout his career.

Bill was a hardworking man who was the size of a grizzly bear but had the heart of a teddy bear. He would stop what he was doing to teach or help anyone he knew that would ask him a question. His dedication and kindness were truly remarkable.

In his free time, William enjoyed participating in Mass Mini Tractor Pullers, snowmobiling, fishing, and grilling. He cherished spending time with his family and friends, creating cherished memories that will be treasured forever.

William is survived by his children, William Smith (Jennie), Lynda Denomme (Peter), Jennifer Garrett, Randy Raymond (Alyssa), and Crystal Raymond (Vinnie). He is also survived by his siblings, Diane Melberg (Alfred), David Raymond (Lisa), Linda Northrup (Keith), Jim Raymond (Doreen), and Tom Raymond (Alexis). William was a loving grandfather to his grandchildren, Hailey, Jaden, Lorelai, Liam, Sydney, Lyric, Eloise, and Winter. He also found companionship in Joyce Grubbs.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date for friends and family to come together and honor William’s memory.

We extend our deepest sympathies to William Raymond’s family and friends during this difficult time. May his memory be a source of comfort and strength.
