Raymond Leo St. Pierre, 56, left this world unexpectedly on December 7, 2015. He lived life to the fullest. His booming voice and smile were infectious. He was a master painter, indoors and out, never settling for anything but the best in his work. Homes and businesses around the North Shore display his work and are a part of his legacy.
Raymond loved music and was an accomplished guitarist. From classical to modern, he could pluck out just about any song that was thrown to him. He recently was a member of a band that brought the joy of music to people in need. He enjoyed the outdoors and worked 2 years with Superintendent David Ryan of the Trustee of Reservation on Misery Island in Salem Harbor. Raymond was instrumental in starting the Pine Tree Planting and Preservation Program on the Island. His hobbies included playing pool, shooting darts, boating and riding his motorcycle. Cooking was a specialty for him and his seafood chowder had a secret ingredient.
Raymond had a heart of gold and helping people in need was always a top priority with many benefiting from his warm, caring heart. He was very proud of his three children and this year walked a daughter down the aisle. The pride and love radiated from his face. Last year he became a grandfather and could not wait to toss a ball with his grandson. It is a life cut short and he will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
He leaves his father and mother, Raymond and Lorraine St. Pierre; three children, Crystal and Harley, Courtney, Joseph and Amanda, and one grandson, Gabriel Michael, Sisters and their families; Diane, Elizabeth, Carol & Walter, Anne & John. Raymond also leaves many nieces and nephews.
