Raymond A. Beaucoudray

Raymond August Beaucoudray entered into eternal rest on Sunday, July 21, 2019 at the age of 91, and into the arms of his beloved wife, Coreen Dennis Beaucoudray. Loving father of Allan August Beaucoudray (Katie), David Raymond Beaucoudray (Kim), and Rae Ann Williams (Chuck). Proud grandfather of Troy, Tori, Raquel, Todd, Rachel, Mindy, Lindsey, Emily and Zachary. Great Grandfather of Fabian, Gianna, Enzo, Zachary, Braxton, Trinity, Harley, Gunner, Landon, Lucas, Nathan, Cailee, Emily, Mollie, Cohen, Noah, Whitney, Beau, and Olivia. Also survived by 2 sisters, 1 brother-in-law and his furever friend Lucy and the late Lulu. Preceded in death by his parents and 2 brothers.

Raymond was an honorable and noble man who loved his country. He was a proud World War II Veteran, having served in two branches of the military, both the US Army and US Navy. In his children’s eyes, he was a true American hero for more reasons than his service alone. He retired as a Captain of the New Orleans Fire Department after 20 years of dedicated service. During retirement, he went on to work for and retire from Kaiser Aluminum. Raymond was a gentleman, kind hearted and there wasn’t a person who met him that didn’t love him. We always said, “Everybody Loves Raymond.” His favorite past time was his trips to the casino with his children, where he always left saying, “I was a born loser.” A piece of his heart left with the passing of his wife 6 years ago, but the quality time he has had with family since that time is something we are all grateful for. We find comfort knowing he has reunited with his love and they are sharing eternal rest.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a visitation at ST. BERNARD MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 701 W Virtue St., Chalmette, LA on Thursday, July 25, 2019 from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM. He will be laid to rest with military honors in St. Bernard Memorial Gardens.
