December 15, 2024, Raymond Serré (84) of Odessa, FL, passed peacefully away at home with his loving wife Patricia (Simpson) at his side. Raymond was born on December 08, 1940 in Montreal, Canada to Rolland and Stella (Nee Beaudin) Serré. He married his loving wife Patricia Simpson of Sylvester, GA on July 6, 2024. Sadly, their time together was cut too short. Ray was survived by his only daughter Lynn (Serré) Del Paggio, three grandchildren, four step-children including one step daughter in law, and 15 step-grandchildren.
Ray devoted his life to construction and making the world a better place. During the course of his career he was a project manager over many different construction sites all over the world including Canada, United States, Bahamas, Bermuda, and Saudi Arabia. Ray loved working so much that he only recently retired a few years ago.
Ray enjoyed wood working, tending to the flowers in the garden, and any plumbing or electrical related projects he could find or create. Ray was devoted to helping the veterans and was a member of the American Legion 152 in Citrus Park, FL and dearly loved spending time with the veterans at the American Legion 173 in Holiday, FL. In addition, Ray was a member of the Moose Lodge 1741 in Westchase, FL.
Ray was a very fun loving guy to be around. He was always telling jokes and entertaining. He was especially famous for his light hearted pranks and embellished stories that kept you laughing. He was loved by many and will be dearly missed.
Ray’s celebration of life will be held at the American Legion 173, located at 4550 Bartelt Rd, Holiday, FL 34690 on January 2, 2025 at 6:00PM.
