Raymond T. Overton, Jr., 67, of Hebron, passed away on Friday, January 9, 2015. He was born in Manchester, the son of the late Raymond T. Overton and Frances (Crawford) Overton Corrow. His strong work ethic began at a young age, working on a paper route in town. As a young adult, he joined the Army Reserves. He earned a degree in civil engineering. One of his passions was building and design. At time of death, he was working as an Associate Project Manager for the State of Connecticut Department of Public Works. In many ways, he was a renaissance man, an avid learner interested in the arts, the outdoors, travel, history and genealogy. He not only designed and built his own home, but he could generally build anything he put his mind to. He was a very kind and caring person. He truly enjoyed being one with nature and spending time with his family. He leaves behind his wife, Patricia (Gaetano) Overton and daughter, Elizabeth Overton. He is survived by his sisters, Janet McLaughlin and Barbara Overton, brothers- and sisters-in-law, and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and -nephews. He was predeceased by his sister, Caren Meyer. Services will be held at the John F. Tierney Funeral Home, 219 West Center Street, Manchester, CT, on Thursday, January 15. Calling hours are 3:30-5:30pm, followed by a family service at 5:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Raymond Overton to One Spirit, "a native American service organization founded to assist and support American Indians." www.nativeprogress.org
