September 16, 1938 — September 12, 2022
Raymond "Ray" Charles Vassar, 83, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island passed away on September 12, 2022, at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Inpatient Center in Providence, Rhode Island. He was the beloved husband of Loreen C. (St. George) Vassar to whom he was married on June 28, 1969.

Mr. Vassar was employed as an autobody repairman for the former County Motors in Pawtucket for 4 years prior to retiring at the age of 62.
A lifelong car enthusiast, he enjoyed attending antique car shows and television shows featuring automotives; however, his greatest joy was time spent creating memories with his family.
