Staten Island, New York - Reinaldo "Ray" Suarez, known affectionately as Uncle Ray, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2023, at the age of 74. Ray was born on November 13, 1949, in the Bronx, New York. He was a beloved brother, uncle, and friend, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

 

Ray was a caring and loving person who touched the lives of many on Staten Island, where he spent most of his adult life. He had a passion for cooking and taking care of others, always ensuring that those around him were well-fed and happy. In his spare time, Ray enjoyed sketching, reading, and indulging in his love for art, music, and literature.

 

Despite his initial shyness, Ray had a fun-loving side and would often crack jokes that would leave everyone in stitches. He had a way of making people feel at ease and brought joy to those around him.

 

Ray is survived by his two sisters, Victoria Casillas and Miriam Jean-Charles, and his numerous nieces and nephews who adored him dearly. He will be lovingly remembered by Richie, Imani, Nicholas, Ricky, Caline, Jessica Pomales, Julie, Jessica Soto, J.C. Soto, Joel, and Vanessa, along with his many grandnieces and grandnephews.

 

He was predeceased by his mother, Norma De-Jesus, his father, Reinaldo Suarez Sr., and his siblings, Margaret, Jo-ann, Mariano, and Michael.

 

Throughout his life, Ray worked as a self-employed cab driver and in food service at Columbia University. His dedication and hard work in these roles were greatly appreciated by those he served.
