John is survived by his daughter's Rachael, Catherine, Cassie, Maranda, and Lois. A Son, Stephen. Parents Warren and Matilda Raynard, along with many loving grandchildren, and extended family. John was a loving father, grandfather, and friend to everyone.

John was an only child. He was born in Brockton, Massachusetts. As a young adult he owned his own farm where he successfully won many awards for his cherish cows. John also served in the US navy. Later he worked as a Bricklayer in his early years. He then worked as a Nurses Aide at the Manor nursing home. Then moved on to work at Cape Cod Hospital where he serviced in the cafeteria for over 30 years before he retired. He had many hobbies that included stamp / coin collecting, and especially the art of cooking.

John was always there to help relatives and friends with whatever they needed him for. He will be very much missed.

A special thank you to the people at Morton Hospital in Taunton for their loving care and support during his final days. Also, the family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude towards Doane Beal & Ames Funeral Home for being very accommodating and understanding during this difficult time.
