It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Raymond Arthur Metivier on November 10, 2018. Ray was born in Portland, ME on July 15, 1943, son of Conrad and Reina Tardiff Metivier. Ray grew up in Westbrook with siblings Conrad Metivier, Paul Metivier, Susan Rossignol, and Robert Metivier. Upon graduation from Westbrook High School, Ray enlisted in the United States Navy. While in the Navy, he served on the U.S.S. Midway with assignments in the Philippines, San Diego, Japan, and the South China Sea during the Vietnam War. After his service to his country, Ray began work at S.D. Warren in Westbrook, while at the same time studying to complete a Bachelor's Degree in Business from Husson College. During that time, he married Barbara Knott and became the proud father of daughters, Karen and Lisa, and son, Ryan. Ray worked in the S.D. Warren Research Lab until he retired in 2002. He was a communicant of St. Hyacinth's church in Westbrook and a faithful member of The Knights of Columbus, a 3rd degree member of council #2219. Ray will be remembered as a selfless father who did everything he could for his children. Ray was a true gentleman, thoughtful, kind, and generous with his time. He enjoyed hunting, water skiing, card playing, bowling, and camping with family. He especially loved the time that he got to spend with his grandchildren. He always had a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eyes. Ray will be sadly missed by all those who knew and loved him. The world was certainly a better, kinder place with him here. Raymond was predeceased by his father, Conrad Metivier and his infant daughter, Elizabeth Marie. He is survived by his mother, Reina Tardiff Metivier; the mother of his children, Barbara Heath; his children and their spouses, Karen Metivier Kullman and husband Gary Kullman of Westbrook, ME, Lisa Metivier Carpenito and husband Paul Carpenito of Holbrook, NY, Ryan Metivier and wife Melissa Rich Metivier of Auburn, ME; grandchildren, Jaylyn Metivier, Matthew Metivier, Christopher Kullman, Luca Carpenito, Dylan Kullman, Sophia Carpenito, and Isabella Carpenito; brother Conrad Metivier, brother Paul Metivier and wife Joanne Blaisdell Metivier, brother Robert Metivier and wife Susan Gorsuch Metivier, sister Susan Metivier Rossignol and husband Norman Rossignol, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
