Eagle Bridge- Raymond Alfred Brundige, 88, a lifelong member of the Towns of Pittstown and Hoosick, died suddenly Tuesday, July 11, 2017, after being stricken at his Route 67 home.
Born February 15, 1929, in the Town of Pittstown, Raymond was the son of the late John H. and Mary (Flannery) Brundige.
As a young man, he attended the Tomhannock District School through the eighth grade until choosing not to seek further schooling “because it was getting in the way of his education.”
He worked for several local concerns in town before taking a position at the Norton Company in Watervliet. For more than 40 years he worked as a production assistant in the Abrasive Products Division before retiring in the mid 1980’s.
A bachelor throughout his life, Raymond enjoyed caring for his outdoor cats, watching television and taking a ride through the neighborhood as many as three times a day just to “patrol” or to “see what’s going on.”
Ray was a former member of the Tomhannock United Methodist Church.
Mr. Brundige is survived by his sister-in-law, Ruth Brundige of Johnsonville and many nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his two sisters and five brothers.
