Raymond M. Corriveau
JACKMAN Raymond M. Corriveau, 79, a public figure in Jackman for well over 50 years, finally succumbed to cancer and died at home, Monday, Feb. 5, 2001, surrounded by his family.
He was born July 14, 1921, in Lewiston, son of Elsie and Eddie Corriveau; he came to live in Jackman in 1938 when his parents moved to Jackman and bought a "dry goods" store from Anna and Joseph Bizier.
After having been inducted into the U.S. Army in 1942, he returned to Jackman on furlough in April 1943, to marry Aline Champagne, also of Jackman. Some ten months after their wedding, Raymond was sent overseas to serve during the remainder of World War II in Europe, where he was a medic in England and France, working as a scrub nurse assisting in emergency surgery.
After returning from the war in December of 1945, he worked in the woods for a while, before taking over his parents' store in 1948. He and Aline established the store that earned their family a livelihood, Corriveau's General Clothing Store.
During the more than 35 years he was in business, he was an active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Knights of Columbus. He was instrumental in organizing the ambulance corps for emergency runs from Jackman to hospitals downriver. In the late '60s, he was among those who invested in the ill-fated venture of developing Enchanted Mountain into a ski area. He was an eager supporter of the Boy Scouts since their introduction in Jackman. Devoted to St. Anthony's Parish, he served as an usher for many years and more recently as an altar server for the community's funeral Masses. He dedicated much of his time over the past 20 years to the Jackman Sewer District as well as to the town's Water District. He had loved to play Santa Claus for the children of Jackman who had clambered onto his lap for the past 50 Christmases.
Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Mrs. Aline Corriveau; his four children, Rev. Roger Corriveau, A.A., of Assumption College in Worcester, Mass., Mr. George Corriveau, of New Gloucester, Mrs. Betty Rizzo, of Springvale, and Mrs. Mariam Kelly, of New Gloucester; 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 10, at St. Anthony's Church in Jackman. Arrangements are by Giberson Funeral Home of Bingham.
