Raymond L. Ross of Canton, Ma entered into rest on June 24, 2021. He passed peacefully at his daughter’s home in Lakeville, Ma.
Ray was born in 1938 in Boston, Ma to Rose & Louis Ross.
He was educated at Huntington Preparatory High School and went on to further his education and was a graduate of University of Vermont receiving a Bachelor’s Degree in Business.
After graduation, Ray partnered with his Father and became an integral part of the family’s business in the automotive industry.
Upon retirement Ray decided to close his business.
He then thought about what he could do to make a positive impact in the community he worked in for over 35 years.
He decided to donate his property to The Mildred Avenue K-8 school in Mattapan.
This was one of his proudest moments. This donation provided an excellent opportunity for neighborhood children to receive innovative educational & social opportunities.
This school was the beginning of the revitalization of the community that he was a part of for so many years.
Raymond is predeceased by his parents, Rose & Louis Ross.
He is survived by his Dear Sister, Joan Cohen & Husband Dr. Robert Cohen of Florida, His loving Children, Michelle Trojano & Husband Todd of Ma, Jennifer Ross & wife Anne of Maine & cherished grandchildren, Max Trojano & wife Amanda of Pa,

July 13, 2021 at 12:23 amOur deepest condolences to all of the Ross family. Our family was Ray’s next store neighbor for 35 years. Ray always had a warm greeting and loved to chat whether it would be neighborhood gossip or town or national politics. He always had an interesting list of facts. He was so proud of his daughters and grandchildren and spoke of you often.
He was a great neighbor and we will miss him. May he rest in peace.
Sincerely,
George, Ellen, Sarah & Patrick Leonard
