A kind and gentle soul, Raymond W. Timmerman, age 85, died at peace on July

24, 2024, at Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital after a chronic illness.

Ray was the youngest son of Louis and Mary Timmerman and the devoted

husband of Josephine Ann, all of whom preceded him in death. He was the caring

father of Josephine Ann Jr., his only daughter, and is also survived by his two older

brothers, Robert and Louis, and several nieces and nephews. He grew up in

Flushing, Queens in the parish of St. Nicholas of Tolentine R.C. Church, graduated

from Thomas A. Edison Vocational and Technical High School in 1963, and

worked in the telecommunications field for AT&T and Lucent Technologies.

Ray was a long-time resident of Island Assisted Living and leaves behind the many

friends he made there over the years. He enjoyed and took pleasure in the simple

things in life and was an avid collector of coins and an enthusiastic fan of the New

York Mets and White Castle hamburgers.
