After attending Lenox, MA High School (class of 1952) he joined the Navy where he was honorably discharged after four years of service. Ray later joined GE as a Technical Writer until retirement.
Ray leaves behind his wife Marian (Ernst) DuFresne and two children; daughter Jane Hudson with spouse W. Kent Hudson, and son Bruce Dufresne; two grandchildren, granddaughter Jessica Lagess with spouse Evan Lagess and grandson Collin Bean; and one Great Grandchild, all of whom reside in Berkshire County, MA.
He was predeceased by his mother & father, Hazel R. and Raymond F. DuFresne; and younger brother, Paul F. DuFresne.
Ray loved working with his hands and had a way with conversation. He will be deeply missed, but we know his knowledge & wisdom will live on. As he liked to say, “You should learn something new every day!”
As he wished, Raymond will be cremated and laid to rest at a later date with a private burial.
