Raymond P. Lamoureux Jr. Raymond P. Lamoureux, Jr.
"For I must be travelling on now, 'cause there's too many places I've gotta see?Bye, bye, baby it's been sweet love, though this feeling I can't change. But please don't take it so badly?" -Lynrd Skynrd, Free Bird
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.
In addition to his loving wife of 18 years, Ann "AT" (Spade) Lamoureux, he is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Dawn M. and Nathan Davis of Scranton; his daughter, Sara B. 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. He is also survived by his father- and mother-in-law, James F. and Elizabeth Y. "Vonnie" Spade of Mechanicsburg; his brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Betty Lamoureux of Massachusetts; brother- and sister-in-law James F. and Ann M. Spade of Camp Hill; close friend and sister-in-law Cindi Hagy-Spade of Dauphin; brother and sister-in-law Stephen T. & Felicia Spade of Fort Wayne, IN; several nieces & nephews; close friends Dottie Ross of Mechanicsburg, Harold Getz & Brian Hurley of Carlisle, Toren Hall of Mechanicsburg, and Jay Abadie of New York.
Raymond Lamoureux was a musician, an animal lover, a swimmer, a Blues Brother, an art collector, a rock 'n' roller, a chef, an adventurer, a "bid-nit-man," a loyal New England Patriots fan, a warrior in the "World of Warcraft," a friend to many, a father to a few, and a husband to one.
Memorial service will be held Saturday, December 27th, at 3 p.m. in Neill Funeral Home, Camp Hill. Visitation will be from 2 p.m. until the service commences. Burial at the convenience of the family at a later date in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Danville.
