He is survived by his children Robert Joseph, Magalie Joseph, Estelle Joseph, Emaze Joseph, Brunel Joseph, Leonel Joseph, his long-time partner Ermithe Joseph, his daughter-in-law Asselia Joseph, his brother Joseph Richeme, his grand-children Jonathan Bazile, Philemon Joseph, Magda Joseph, Marjorie Joseph, Mimose Joseph, Michelet Joseph, Byanka Joseph, Kenson Joseph, Anne Bruelle Joseph, Brunise Joseph, Berthonise Joseph, Armelle Joseph, Davidson Joseph, his several nephews and nieces, including Baussuet Charles, Esther Richemond, Richemaille Richeme, and Jolicoeur Fanfan.

Raymond was a hard-working and dedicated individual who served his birth country and community for more than fifteen years as a police officer and also worked as a farmer. He immigrated to the United States in August 2007 and settled in Somerville where he remained until his passing. Raymond became a naturalized citizen in 2018. He was proud to become a U.S. citizen and voted regularly in all elections. He followed politics fervently. For many years, Raymond volunteered his time as a helper at the Elizabeth Peabody House food pantry. He was passionate about cooking and relished a good meal with his friends and family. He was also a fitness enthusiast who walked daily the various neighborhood streets near and far from his Somerville residence. He was an outgoing individual who valued friendships and family gatherings. Raymond easily built connections and greeted everyone in and around the neighborhood and on the street. His ever-present smile and the warmth, depth and intelligence behind it will be sorely missed. We could not have asked for a better parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle and friend, and will miss Raymond every day. His memory will live on in the hearts of a11 those who loved him.
