Raymond J. Bosse

Raymond J. Bosse, age 71, formerly of New Auburn, died early Saturday morning April 16th at Clover Manor. He was born in Lewiston on January 3, 1945, one of three boys born to Wallace and Marie Rita (Bourgoin) Bosse. Ray was educated in Lewiston schools and remained a lifelong resident of this community. He first worked for several years in the bakery at Country Kitchen and later worked many years as a painter at Bath Iron Works. Growing up, he attended St. Mary's Church and then St. Louis Church for many years when his parents moved the family to New Auburn. He enjoyed doing puzzles and was an avid sports fan, especially of the Boston Red Sox, New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers. But most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family, his brothers and nieces and nephews. Ray was a loving and hardworking brother and uncle who will be greatly missed. He leaves behind his brother Richard Bosse of Lewiston; three nieces Lisa R. Morin and friend Rick Allen, Sherry L. Duke and husband Chris, and Angela Austin and husband Richard; a nephew Michael Bosse and his wife Miok; six grandnieces Dominique Morin, Olivia Morin, Anne Bosse, June Bosse, Shelby Austin and Kasey Austin and one grandnephew Xavier J.
