Beloved Husband, Father, and Grandfather
WATERBURY – Raymond J Frageau Jr. age 76, of Waterbury, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 10th, 2024, surrounded by the love and comfort of his family at the Vitas Innovative Care unit at Saint Mary’s Hospital after a five-year courageous battle with Parkinsons disease. He was the husband of Patricia (Boland) Frageau and the former husband of Kathy Smith Frageau.
