Raymond L Power

Raymond L. Power, age 79, of Gibsonia, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2015. He was born March 4, 1936, to the late Leo and Mary Anne (Schmidt) Power. Devoted husband of Lillian (McGurgan) for 56 years. Loving and beloved father of Mary Ann Muska (Gary), Donna L. Power, Mark R. Power (Mark T. Phillis) and Allison P. Bajuszik (James). Survived also by six grandchildren, Kevin (Whitney) Muska, Scott Muska, Ryan Muska, Holly Muska, Jason Bajuszik and Adam Bajuszik, and one great grandchild, Adeline Muska. A long-time businessman in Mars, Ray purchased the former A&P Food Store, opening the Super Dollar supermarket (later IGA and Foodland, now Shop ‘n Save) in December 1973. Active with Mars Kiwanis since opening his business and as past president, Ray was a stalwart supporter and champion of the Mars community in countless, unheralded ways. Aware that one can never get rich in a small town because there are too many eyes watching, Ray’s life was among the richest and enriched by the love, respect, and admiration of his family, friends, other local business owners, fellow supermarket operators, and 41+ years of customers for whom Ray always shared a friendly greeting. There will be no visitation and services will be private. Memorial contributions may be made to Mars Kiwanis, P.O. Box 1126, Mars PA 16046 or Mars Area Public Library, 107 Grand Avenue, P.O. Box 415, Mars, PA 16046.
