Robert Raboin, 91, went to be with his Lord and Savior on December 23rd, 2022. Robert was born to Hector and Vinalda Raboin on December 20th, 1931 in Fairfax, Vermont.

Robert met the love of his life, Rita Choquette, at his sister's wedding where they were both members of the wedding party. They married on August 20th, 1955 and were married for 67 years. They were recently able to celebrate this milestone as the longest married couple at their granddaughter's wedding.

It was after his marriage that Robert began dairy farming, a lifelong endeavor even after the loss of the barn in spring 2020. Robert was forever grateful for the support of the community during that time and continued with farming related tasks until his death. Community members would often see Robert driving tractor on Route 100 on what is still known by locals as "Raboin Flats" in Lowell. He also was an avid reader and read the newspaper daily. From opening weekend in the spring to closing weekend in the fall, Robert and Rita were also Sunday regulars at Cajun's Snack Bar near their home. Robert was a devout member of the Catholic Church and it is a comfort knowing that he will be watching over his family in Heaven with God.

Family was the center of Robert's life, and he spent his free time with his and Rita's immediate as well as extended family. As the Raboin & Choquette families became intertwined through marriage, Rita's family became inextricably his and vice versa. Robert is survived by siblings Fern Bonneau, Donat & Jeannine Choquette, Anne & George Leblanc, Norman & Gerry Raboin, Roger & Marie Raboin, Martha & Paul Fournier, Ernest & Louise Choquette, and Gerard & Pauline Raboin. He is predeceased by his parents and in-laws Edeas and Rosa Choquette. He was predeceased by Bernard Bonneau, Regent & Jackie Choquette, and Ulysse Choquette.

Robert is survived by children Dennis Raboin, Maurice Raboin, Claire Waterman, Michael & Carla Raboin, and Joanne & Mark Cyr. He was predeceased by Aline Raboin and Mark Waterman.

Robert is survived by grandchildren Matthew Raboin, Alissa Raboin & Ryan Heuser, David Waterman & Nina Ren, Kevin & Roxy Waterman, Karen Waterman & Courtney Cirillo, Samantha & David Vallieres, Anna Raboin & Paul Donna, Steven & Alyssa Raboin, Angela & Dan Farrow, Katherine Cyr, Kimberly Cyr, & Kristina Cyr. He was predeceased by Andrew & Amanda Cyr.

Robert had six (soon to be seven) great-grandchildren: Carter & Emily Vallieres, Greyson Cirillo-Waterman, Sawyer Farrow, Violet Donna, and Carson Heuser.

Robert is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
