Ray was a son of the late Willard and Pearl (Dickie) Fulton

River, where he completed school and worked alongside his father at
the Chair Factory. Ray was a civil engineer and a land surveyor and
worked in Windsor, Hillsborough, New Brunswick and Truro before he
became self-employed in Onslow until retirement. In business, as in
life, he was known for fairness, integrity and caring.

step great granddaughters, Arianna and Alexandra; sister, Joyce Slack;
several special nieces and nephews. Along with his parents, he was
predeceased by his brother, Ron (Thora); infant brother, Donald;

His greatest pleasures were in getting together at Economy
Lake, at a quiet Inn for annual family outings, at home, or in his
workshop. Ray was an active member of the Good Time Fiddlers Club and
highly valued the friendship he found there and the sharing of music
and was also a member of Trinity United Church. Special thanks to the
staff of Glen Haven Manor, New Glasgow and Cedarstone Enhanced Care,
Truro.
