WESTFIELD: Raymond R. Moquin passed away peacefully at home December 26, 2021, surrounded by his loving family. He was born to the late Edgar and Alice (Elliot) Moquin on June 26, 1935 in Springfield, MA.
Raymond graduated from St. Mary’s High School in 1953 and was a lifelong communicant of St. Mary’s Church in Westfield as well as an usher.

He was also an avid Red Sox fan and loved going on many family trips to Cape Cod. Ray was a member of St. Mary’s Men’s Club and was President of the Old Colony Beneficial Association. He was the best father, husband, grandfather and was a man of patience. Putting family first was always his main goal, which is what gave him the most joy in life. His actions always spoke louder than words.
