Obituary of Raymond Burggraaf
Burggraaf: Raymond Frank –
A resident of Ridgetown, Raymond Burggraaf passed away at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance – Chatham Campus on February 19, 2024 at the age of 66.

Beloved husband of 44 years to Cheryl Ann (née Tremblay).
Survived by his five children Margaret (Roy) Bray, Erik (Bryanna) Burggraaf, Jonathan (Ashley) Burggraaf, Elizabeth (Daniel) Zwart, Emily (Ryan) Fousert. Raymond was the proud Grandpa of 12 grandchildren.
Josalynn and Jessyka Burggraaf, Lily and Wren Burggraaf, Nathaniel, Josiah, Gilead and Micah Zwart, and Nora, Elena, Hezekiah, and Kyla Fousert.

Raymond loved his family and could have no better gift than having all his children and grandchildren home for a visit. He enjoyed a good spontaneous adventure that took him down obscure side roads and to the occasional fruit stand. His silly humour and playful personality will be part of his legacy. He will be dearly missed.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
