Raymond Patrick Semeraro

He is survived by his beloved wife Lourdes, loving children Christina, Gabe and his wife Keri, Kathryn and Stefanie and adorning grandchildren Anna Lucia, Olivia, and Vincenzo. Predeceased by his brother Kevin, he leaves behind to mourn his dear sister Annmarie, her husband Ed and daughter Emilie, his brother Mark, his wife Elizabeth, their children Meaghan, Erin and Brendan and his older brother Lenny.

His loving Aunt Rosemarie, Uncle Gabe, cousin Patricia and her children Dominic and Vincent, his cousin Susan, her husband Chris, their children Tyler and Gabrielle. His Uncle Fred, cousins Cara, her husband Al and daughter Maria, cousin Patrick and his wife Cindy, cousins Marie and Melanie, his brother-in-law’s, Frank and George Rodriguez along with many other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, who loved him dearly.

Raymond was an avid hunter who enjoyed the great outdoors. He retired from the West New York Police Department after 28+ years, he was also part of the original SWAT team and the Motorcycle squad. For him there was still more to life, so he went on to work for the Tatamy Police Department and Bethlehem Police Department and was still on duty at Lafayette College.

But for this giving person that was not enough, so he volunteered as a Firefighter, with Lafayette Fire & Rescue, Hampton Fire & Rescue and Upper Nazareth Fire & Rescue for a total of 25+ years.

This loving and warm man with an infectious smile will surely be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Visitation will be held Friday, January 22, 2021 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Mack Memorial Home, 1245 Paterson Plank Road, Secaucus, NJ 07094. Mass at St Joseph of the Palisade RC Church, 6401 Palisade Ave, West New York, NJ 07094.
