CORMIER, RAYMOND - 1958 - 2014 - Dorchester, N.B.- It is with deep sadness that the family of Raymond Ernest Joseph Cormier, announce the sudden passing of their loving husband and father, on Sunday, June 29th, 2014. Raymond was 56 years of age. Born in Moncton, N.B. on February 24, 1958, he was the son of Paul Cormier and the late Gertrude (Kendrick) Cormier. Raymond will be lovingly remembered by his devoted wife of 33 years, Donna (Partridge); his four children, Jennifer (Chris), Sasha (Neil), Joshua and Zachary; his siblings, Gerry, John (Sandy), Pauline (Greg), Andy (Donna), Nancy, Carol (Junior) and David and by his father, Paul (Rachel). He is also survived by an extended family network of loving in-law siblings, Joanne (David), Bonnie (Lloyd), Andy (Mary), Greg (Louise), Cheryl (Steve); in-law parents, Ernie and Janet Partridge and by several nieces and nephews. Raymond was predeceased by his brother, Ron Cormier; his mother, Gertrude Cormier; his brother-in-law, Robert Partridge and by his sister-in-law, Lorna Partridge. Raymond loved his family above all and was very proud of his children. He would gladly boast of their accomplishments to all who would listen. He was very much looking forward to meeting his soon-to-be grandbaby. Raymond loved the automotive business that he ran in Dorchester for the last several years. He felt closer to the community and its people than he had in the previous 25 years living in Dorchester. Raymond had several hobbies including winemaking, wood working, building, walking on the beach and reading. Raymond enjoyed every moment spent at the “Sugar Shack” he built on his property overlooking the bay in Johnson Mills, which was truly his paradise. He and his wife Donna spent most of their free time there and loved every second of it.
