Joseph Raymond

Joseph Stanley Raymond, 70, of Jefferson passed away peacefully Tuesday, November 19, 2019 surrounded by his family. He was the husband of Judith Raymond. They were married 50 years.

Born in Nanticoke, PA, he was the son of the late Joseph Michael Raymond and Catherine (Pincofski) Raymond.

He spent his career working for the federal government as a cartographer with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency until his retirement in 2015. He was a veteran of the United States Army and a member of the American Legion.

Throughout his life, he enjoyed tinkering with motorized things in his garage.  Since his retirement, Joe enjoyed spending time with Judy at their beach home and travelling.

Joe will be lovingly remembered by his wife; his brother, Gerald Raymond of Lawrenceville, NJ; his sons, Joe Raymond and his wife, Melissa (Holland), of Boonsboro and John Raymond and his wife, Cari (Peters), of Allentown, PA. Joe also loved spending time with his four grandchildren, William 15, Reed 12, Kate 12 and Cole 8.
