Raymond G. Phelps, Jr.

Raymond G. Phelps, Jr., formerly of Skaneateles, died on March 3, 2018. Ray loved the lake and, in fact, he met his loving wife, Jeanne Reppard, at the lake and raised their seven children in Skaneateles. Ray graduated from Syracuse University, was a scratch golfer and enjoyed waterskiing, snow skiing, and being with his family. He loved to stay active and busy. Ray is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years, Jeanne, and five of their seven children: Cynthia (Joe), Jody (Mark), Penny (Sam), Sharmon and Holly (Tim), as well as eight grandchildren—Elly, Emmett, Erin, J.T., Collin, Todd, Kate and Kevin—and a new precious great-grandson, Jedediah.
Ray was an officer in the Air Force, and later managed the data center at Sylvania/GTE in Camillus for 35 years. He was the loving, wonderful father of Raymond G. Phelps III “Buzz” and Lee William Phelps, who predeceased him. Services will be private for the family at Brew Funeral Home in Auburn, N.Y.
