* Raymond Bornand; Retired Electrician
Raymond Martin Bornand, retired owner of Major Electric Co., died Monday at home in Ojai. He was 64.
He was born Nov. 7, 1935, in Santa Barbara, where he grew up and went to school.
After serving in the Marine Corps during the Korean War, Bornand returned to Santa Barbara and became an electrician for Craviotto Electric Service. He then began his own business, Major Electric Co., which served the Ventura County area for 25 years.
He enjoyed working around his ranch in Upper Ojai and helping friends with their projects. He also enjoyed hunting in the mountains or fishing on his boat with his best friend Kenny “K. T.” Thompson.
He is survived by his wife of 25 years, Jeannette; daughters Michele and Sheree of San Francisco and Kellie of Ojai; brothers Bob, Oren and Clarence, and sisters Brenda and Laura, all of Utah.
A memorial service is scheduled at 2 p.m. Friday at the Joseph P. Reardon Funeral Chapel in Ventura.
The family suggests that donations in Bornand’s name be made to a charity of the giver’s choice.
