Raymond G. Natell Jr., of Pearl River, NY died September 10, 2025.

Born on August 14, 1957, in Mount Vernon, NY, Ray was the son of Anne (DeSerio) and Raymond G. Natell Sr.

As a young child Ray’s family moved to Brewster, NY where he attended North Salem Schools. As an adult Ray owned and operated multiple delis and restaurants including Top Quality Deli in Brewster, NY. After leaving the deli business he worked as a butcher for the rest of his career.

Ray married Maria (Burns) in 1987, they were married for fifteen years and together they had two children. In 2008 he married his soulmate, Loretta Baker.

Ray will be remembered as a good friend to those lucky enough to have crossed his path. He always enjoyed cooking for family and friends, he was an avid bowler, car enthusiast, and the life of every party. Ray never met a stranger and would give anyone the shirt off his back. “What a guy!”
