Raynold Charles Viotti

After a strong fight, on November 22, 2024, Raynold “Ray” Charles Viotti, succumbed to his illness, and was welcomed into heaven. Ray was pillar of strength and backbone to his family.  Born on March 1, 1938, in San Francisco, CA, Ray was the son of the late Raynold and Eva (Menconi) Viotti. Ray graduated from Sacred Heart High School. He married the love of his life, Beverly “Bev” Bilafer.  The couple moved to Daly City and then San Mateo where they were happily married for 65 years. Ray worked as a truck driver and then a salesman in the food industry. When he wasn’t at his full time job or at the family’s Baskin-Robbins franchise, he was tinkering on a home improvement or boat engine upgrade.  He loved spending time at Clear Lake with his family, making memories, water skiing and boating. Those who knew Ray will remember him for his humor, generosity and devotion to his family. He is preceded in death by his parents, grandson Erik Haket, Jr., and daughter-in-law Christina (Carlson) Viotti. He is survived by wife Bev, sister Shirley Bianchi, children Pamela (Patrick) Kelly, Teresa (David) Holley, Raynold (Melissa) Viotti, Suzanne (Erik) Haket, grandchildren Christen Kelly, Trevor (Nicole) Holley, Alicia (Jacob) Gomes, Heather Holley, and Megan Kelly, great grandchildren, Francis Gomes and Maison Holley, as well as many in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
