It is with deep sadness that I have to inform you of the sad passing of Raymond C. Teatum, a dedicated and loyal member of our society since 1977. Ray was a great officer, offered great counsel and was unconditional in his support of the Society. Ray was Secretary of the Society from 1998 to 2011. 

Ray beloved by so many of us was the epitome of a “Friendly Son”. The society was a passion for Ray and he was responsible for countless members joining the society and mentoring so many. Indeed I am one of those members for which I am eternally grateful to “Himself”, Ray. 

Ray will be deeply missed. 

Ray leaves behind his loving wife Mary (Buckley) Teatum. 

Ray’s wake will take place on Thursday, November 21 from 4pm to 8pm at Campbell's Funeral Home, 1076 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10028. 

Ray's Funeral Mass will take place on Friday, November 22nd at 10:00am at St. Patrick's Cathedral. 

Sincerely,
Peter McGuire,President
