Raymond Zellers Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Raymond Zellers, 74, of Honolulu, Hawaii passed away on October 31, 2021 of natural causes. Raymond was born on August 1947 to Raymond Zellers and Violet Zellers in Newark, New Jersey. As a young adult, Raymond was into body building and taking good care of his body. Raymond’s last place of employment was Herman Sporting Goods in Carteret, NJ where he worked in the Print Shop. Raymond served in the U.S. Navy from 10/64–07/68 on the USS Essex as Damage Controlman, and from 10/74–6/30/77 on the USS Bainbridge as an Interior Communications Electrician. Raymond will be remembered for his kind heart, generosity, his kindness to everyone he met, especially the less fortunate, his wit and funny sense of humor, his love for Hawaii, his eccentric ideas, how he just loved to play his bongos and drums, and for his free spirited, simultaneously gentle yet strong way of telling you as it is. Raymond leaves behind a brother Richard Zellers and his wife Diane and a sister Valerie Zellers and her husband Russ, and sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces and nephews, cousins and friends who fondly remember him. Although divorced, Raymond always fondly remembered his wife June and never remarried. You will be missed “Big Brodder” and our plans to eventually move in together when we found the right retirement home. Unfortunately for us, God had bigger plans for you! Arrangements are being taken care of by Oahu Mortuary in Honolulu, HI and there will be a proper military funeral for Raymond at the Punchbowl Crater, National Memorial Cemetery Of The Pacific, Honolulu Hawaii at 1:00pm, November 16, 2021 for anyone who is able to attend.
