Raymond M. Patnode, 68, of North Kingstown, RI, passed away peacefully on November 21, 2019 at home in the company of his family. He was the loving husband of Denise Lemieux. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Raymond and Margaret (Carroll) Patnode. Besides his wife, he leaves his son Sean and his fiancee, Teal, as well as two dogs, Luna and Bandit. He was the brother of Denise Patnode. Born and raised on the East Side of Providence, Raymond enjoyed growing up in the city and told many fond stories of his childhood. His stories were full of friends, adventure and mischief. He Graduated from Hope High School Class of 1970. Adventure and mischief would follow Raymond until he met his wife Denise and left Providence to settle down in North Kingstown and start a family. Raymond worked as a painter for many years before starting his own business Good & Clean Painting. He became landlord of the Wayland Square house he grew up in. A responsibility he would pass onto his son. Raymond was a big part of his wife Denise's tailoring business Alterations Unlimited in Narragansett. Spending his fair share of time behind the sewing machine. He worked closely with his family and spent many years working with the people he loved most. Raymond enjoyed working on cars and loved his old BMW and little red sports car. Some of his favorite moments were spent on the canoe with family and dogs. He fell in love with one pond in particular Tucker Pond in South Kingstown and would return time and time again. Raymond enjoyed many hobbies over the years and particularly loved paintball with his son. In his later years Raymond's favorite hobby was his outdoor garden, he loved tomatoes and sharing his produce with friends and family. His retirement was spent at home where he was able to be with his family and dogs. Raymond was the kind of guy who lived life his way. The kind of guy to play the music loud and enjoy a good drink and a good laugh. The kind of guy to drive with the convertible top down on an extra sunny winter day. Any day that he could make someone smile or laugh was a good day for Raymond. And he had a lot of good days. Raymond was a kind soul full of love, life and laughter. He will be deeply missed and his sense of humour and joy for life will never be forgotten. Forever in our love A Celebration of Raymond's life will be held at a later date.
