About Ray Grande:

Ray Grande was the consummate volunteer and was well known and respected throughout the community.  He volunteered at several organizations in and around Littleton, including the Littleton Conservation Trust, Littleton Historical Society, Littleton Lyceum, Castle in the Trees, and Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry.  Ray served on the boards of the Friends of the Reuben Hoar Library and the Trustees of the Reuben Hoar Library for over 15 years.  He could often be seen hauling books around in preparation for or cleaning up after a book sale.  He volunteered his time in many capacities to help make the Library what is today.
