SCARBOROUGH — Raymond F. Comeau, 81, of Pine Point, died Monday, June 20, at Gosnell Memorial Hospice.

He was born in Lewiston, Nov. 6, 1929, the son of the late Otis and Aline Roy Comeau. He graduated from St. Dominic Regional High School in 1949. Being the all star athlete that he was, he excelled in hockey and football and became captain of both teams. He was inducted as a member of the Auburn – Lewiston Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.

Ray married his high school sweetheart, Murielle Caron on June 21, 1952. He was the owner of Malenfant’s Dairy for 17 years, working hard delivering milk, then later Korn Haus Keller Restaurant for more than 25 years, of which he was known famously for his amazing chowders, stews and seafood dishes. He enjoyed working in his beautiful flower gardens. However, he was truly in his element when he spent time at gatherings with his children and grandchildren, making sure there was an abundance of food for everyone.

He was an avid skier for many years at Sugarloaf with his family, teaching all of his children how to ski. He was always the life of any party and loved to make people laugh. For the past several years, he enjoyed walking for an hour or two a day around the Point. Many neighbors knew him from his walks and would always enjoy talking to him because of his positive outlook on life.

He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years, Murielle, also of Pine Point; two daughters, Diane Mann and husband, Kenny, of Brunswick and Mona Theriault and husband, Rick, of Turner; four sons, Fern Comeau of Jackson Hole, Wyo., Claude Comeau of Turner, Pierre Comeau and wife, Cathy, of Brainerd, Minn., and Jacques Comeau of Portland; eight grandchildren; one great grandson; two sisters, Laurette Carbonneau and husband, Paul, of Lewiston and Annette Plourde of Birmingham, Ala.; a brother, Joseph Comeau of Lewiston; and many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by two sisters, Florence St.Hilaire and Lucille Comeau; and also three brothers, Gerry, Larry and Robert Comeau.
