Monkton, VT Raymond G. Latreille, 60, Monkton, VT
On August 12th, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer, Raymond left this world surrounded by his loved ones.
Raymond was born in Burlington, VT February 27, 1962 the eighth child of Leonard & Beverly Latreille. He began life on the family farm, where he learned the value of hard work and long days raising livestock and caring for the land. After graduating from Mt. Abe Union High School in 1981, he worked at ADD-ON Accessory outlet for many years until their closing. He then briefly worked for the Town of Monkton Highway Department before moving to Ryder Truck Rental in Williston, VT where he was still employed.
He found peace working long days in the hay field, the wood lot, the sugar woods, repairing machinery and passing the knowledge and appreciation of that peace on to all the children in his life. He continued to work on the family farm with his children, even insisting on baling 2 wagons of hay before allowing someone to take him to the hospital. He enjoyed a simple life, lived from the heart, caring for his wife and children, his parents, and anyone else that needed a hand. He leaves his legacy in all the lives he has improved simply by being part of them.
He is survived by his wife, Jill Smiel Latreille; son Ray Latreille, daughter Jackie Hensley and granddaughters Annabella & Makenna Hensley; several brothers, sisters & their spouses, numerous nieces and nephews and too many friends to count.
