NORWAY – Raymond “Ray” Guerin passed away on Oct. 13, 2021 at Stephens Memorial Hospital after battling dementia for a number of years.

He was born in Lewiston on August 26, 1946. He graduated from Sabattus High School, class of 1964. He entered the Navy and completed three Mediterranean Cruises on the USS Saratoga followed by 12 years of service in the National Guard in Lewiston.

He was an arborist for Mt. Apatite for seven years and was tinsmith at Bath Iron Works for 21 years where he retired in 2000. He had an unwavering passion for Kubota tractors, living off the land in Maine—especially cutting wood and providing for his family in Sabattus and Abbot — and will miss time with his loyal dog, Mookie, his family, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren on the water of Lake Pennesseewassee in Norway.

Survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Joan (Parise) Guerin of Norway; his children Chris of Jackman, Cindy and husband Craig VerColen of North Reading, Mass., Amanda and husband Mike LaBonte of Lewiston; his brothers Michael and Danny Guerin of Norway; his grandchildren Morgan Guerin of Auburn, MacKenzie Guerin of Lewiston, Jake and Alex VerColen of North Reading, Mass., and Alshlee LaBonte of Palm Bay, Fla.; three great-grandchildren, Bexley Thomas, JaKobe and Harmony Weekes.

Predeceased by his three favorite aunts, Laura D’Amour, Grace Sennett, and Juliette Bonsaint.
