Raymond N. LetendreMarlborough – Raymond N. “Mickey” Letendre, of Marlborough, died peacefully Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018 in Marlborough, surrounded by his loving family, aged 95 years. He was the beloved husband of Marie (Lesieur) Letendre, with whom he shared 67 years of marriage.

Born in Marlborough, a son of the late Rudolph L. and Orise C. (Marchand) Letendre. He received his education in the Spencer school system.

For several years, he worked at Schutney Shoe factory in Hudson, Diamond Shoe factory in Marlborough, and City Taxi. Later, he was employed at A&M Aeronautics Engineering as a manufacturing supervisor, retiring in 1992 after 31 years of service.

In 1948, Mickey also worked part time at Lesieur Moving Company, where a lovely young woman (who just happened to be the boss’ daughter…) took notice of his boyish good looks and charming personality. They married Aug. 20, 1950, and began a 67-year journey of love and devotion.

Mickey was an avid candlepin bowler in his younger years. He loved the ocean, and always reminisced about the many vacations he took to Cape Cod with his young family. His favorite pastime was watching his beloved Red Sox. Most of all, he adored spending time with his kids, extended family, and friends.
