Raymond A. Senechal

SIDNEY – Raymond A. Senechal, 87, passed away Oct. 24, 2022 at MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta with his loving family by his side. He was born in Saint Jean Port Joli, Quebec, Canada on July 31, 1935, a son of Francois and Florida (Caron) Senechal.

Ray moved to Connecticut as a young man and was married to Audrey Bernece until her passing in 2000. For 33 years, he was employed at Pratt & Whitney as a mechanic assistant. Following Audrey’s death, he met Joan Haskell, moved to Windsor, and the two became loving companions. They spent their retirement years wintering in Nobleton, Fla., where Ray was content sitting outside on the swing watching the neighborhood activity and rarely missed his morning walk and stopping to chat. In 2020, following Joan’s passing, Ray moved to Bella Point in Sidney where he was affectionally called “Papa” by all.

Ray enjoyed listening to country music, going for boat rides with the family, and cheering for the Red Sox. His favorite pastimes include being around family to whom he was affectionately known as “Uncle Ray”. He will be remembered for his charm and good sense of humor.

He is survived by his brother, Francois Senechal and his wife Fernande; his nieces, Helene, Pierette Celine, Michele, Dorothy, Linda, Cathy and Carol; nephews, Jean Marie, Christian, Richard, and Bill Drisko, as well as other relatives; his devoted stepchildren, Diane York and her husband Brian, Deborah O’Clair and her husband Walter, Douglas Haskell and his wife Diane and Doreen Haskell and her husband Neil Carmichael; grandchildren, Jody, Shawn, Jason, Erin, Jenny, Adam, Danielle; and great-grandchildren, Sophie, Taylor, Riley, Yanic, MaKayla, Zane, Ethan, Ariella, RyLeigh, Cameron, Mason, Josiah and Kingston.

He was predeceased by his first wife Audrey Senechal, his loving companion of 20 years, Joan Haskell; a step daughter, Sharon Light; sisters, Marguerite and Marie-Anne and brothers, Jules and Aime.

A celebration of life will be announced for the summer of 2023.
