VIDEO: The 35-year veteran of the Plainville Fire Department, Raymond โRayโ Moreau, is being remembered as someone who served his community with dignity and honor. Monday, a procession took Moreauโs body from the medical examinerโs office in Farmington back to Plainville.
Tuesday night, the town is holding a vigil in his honor. The ceremony will be taking place at Plainville High School at 7 p.m., in the schoolโs Tinty Stadium. This will be an opportunity for the public to pay their respects to this fallen hero and his two families- the one he worked with and the one he went home to.
It was a powerful, solemn moment as Mondayโs procession stopped at the firehouse Moreau volunteered at since 1990. Then the procession then escorted his body to the Plainville Funeral Home, where his firefighter brothers and sisters stood outside saluting as his body was brought inside.
The Office of the Medical Examiner ruled his death an accident caused by blunt trauma to the head, neck, torso and extremities. They did not say what caused that equipment to strike Moreau.
