Raymond P. Lamoureux, Jr., 52, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends at his home in Mechanicsburg, PA, on December 19, 2008. His engaging smile, courageous spirit and kindhearted nature will be missed by all.
Born on May 13, 1956, in Chicopee, MA, he was the son of the late Raymond P. and Elizabeth "Betty" (Hoar) Lamoureux. Ray graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1978 with a degree in computer science. In 1981 he was awarded The Army Commendation Medal for outstanding meritorious achievement in defining a rapid procedure for software development in the Telecommunications Automation Directorate. While on active duty at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Belgium, he earned his MBA through an extension program of Boston University. In 1983 Ray was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army, holding the rank of Captain.
From 1991 to 2003 he worked for IBM Corporation, where he designed, launched, and directed the global e-business strategy and design practice. To this day, the members of Ray's e-business project team remain linked by the closest of friendships. Most recently he was a partner with CSC Consulting in Manhattan. During his twenty plus years as a management consultant, his charisma and leadership abilities naturally lent themselves to his being a strong mentor and good friend to those who worked with him.
In 2003, Ray took a brief break from consulting to pursue a lifelong dream and opened his gourmet traiteur, catering and personal chef business, "Who's the Chef?" with his wife, Ann.

Lamoureux of Garrison, NY; his son, Alex T. Lamoureux at home; his step-daughter, Gabrielle R. Trucco at home; and his loving granddaughter, Little Miss Madelyn Marie Davis.
