Raymond Stephano

Raymond "Ray" Stephano, 90, of Dock Woods in Lansdale, peacefully went home to his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. He was the loving husband of 64 years to Ruth Ann (Gulyas) Stephano and was surrounded by his beloved family at the time of his passing.

Born in Philadelphia on June 11, 1935, Ray was the son of the late Peter and Tillie (Dolinsky) Stephano. He was preceded in death by his three sisters: Ann, Helen, and Mary.

Ray proudly served his country in the United States Army. He was an active member of Christ Home Senior Ministries, where he found great joy playing his violin during Sunday services. An avid tennis player, he was a long-term member of the Roosevelt Racquet Club in Huntingdon Valley. Ray was also an exceptionally skilled handyman and dedicated his time twice a week to Hands In Service Inc, where he volunteered repairing tools and appliances for those in need.

In addition to his beloved wife, Ruth Ann, Ray is survived by his children, Susan Stephano Smith (David) and Richard Stephano (Amanda); his grandchildren, Christopher, Taylor (Daniel), Tori, Callie, Kaela, Matthew, and Brody; and his great-grandchildren, Carter and a baby girl expected in April 2026.
