Born & raised in Revere, he was an alumnus of Revere High School, Class of 1982. The only son of the late Harold B. & Elizabeth J. “Betty” (FitzGerald) Brinig, he lived almost all of his life on Page St., Revere, his mother’s family-home. Raymond had a career with Verizon for over 30 years and retired in 2013, because of failing health. His battle with diabetes & diabetes related illnesses led to his early retirement.
He is the beloved husband to Theresha “Terry” (Andrews) Brinig of Revere and the cherished father to Aleczandre Robert Brinig of Revere & his girlfriend, Colleen Ryan of Salem. He is the devoted brother to Kathleen A. Scherber & her husband, Paul of Danvers. He is also the dear uncle to Daniel P. Scherber & his companion, Amanda Ortiz of Revere & Kelleigh E. “Kelly” Scherber of Danvers. He is also lovingly survived by his grand-nephew, Frankwes Lee Scherber of Danvers.
So very sad to hear today that Ray has passed on!
May your abundant memories of this wonderful kind soul comfort you now. Prayers & love sent to all of you during this difficult time. I’ll be with you in spirit as you celebrate Ray’s life tomorrow. Know that if I had a way to forge through the Vermont blizzard to Revere, I would.
Love, Janice
