Shawn Fuller and Philip Ravenscroft; four grandchildren (Chloe and
Lillian Fuller in Nova Scotia and Gabriel and Aidan Ravenscroft in
South Africa); his sister, Marcia (Cain) and her husband, Doug Mouland
in Truro and their children, Laura and Peter. Special thanks to the
staff at Laurel’s Lake Residence who provided excellent care during
his final few months of life. Their kindness and compassion are
greatly appreciated. A funeral service and reception will be held at
