Mr. Raymond A. Brassard

ATTLEBORO- Raymond A. Brassard, 95, of Attleboro, passed away on Saturday, November 11, 2017 at Brookdale of Attleboro. He was the loving husband to Jeannette (Amadio) Brassard, to whom he was happily married to for 68 wonderful years.

Born on January 1, 1922, in Pawtucket, RI, he was the devoted son to the late Joseph and Marianna (Martin) Brassard.

A resident of Attleboro for 68 years, he was a longtime communicant of the former St. Joseph’s Church in Attleboro.

Raymond was most happy when he was in the company and making memories with his beloved wife, whom was the love of his life and best friend. The two were inseparable; they spent many years sharing the ride of the daily commute to work.
