Raymond Joseph Richards

Passed away peacefully at his home in Cambridge on Friday August 18, 2023 at the age of 63 years, with his family by his side.

Ray was born and raised in Bell Island, NL. His greatest joy was his children and grandchildren. Ray moved to Ontario in 1984 with his family and worked at Foundries and Factories to provided for his family. Ray enjoyed collecting hockey memorabilia and cruising in his Barracuda with his wife by his side using the imaginary brake. The last few years Ray loved fixing up dirt bikes for his grandchildren to ride in the open field behind the house.

Beloved husband and best friend of Ruth for over 40 years. Loving father of Todd (Ashleigh) and Jennifer. Cherished Grandfather of Aiden, Sahvannah, Owen, Ryder, Chase & Paige.

I want to thank all off our family in Ontario and Newfoundland for their prayers and support for Ray and I during his courageous battle with cancer.

Special thanks to the Cambridge Memorial Oncology team and the palliative care team. A very special thank you to Ray’s palliative care nurse Christina.

Predeceased by his brother Michael (1977) and his father Raymond (1994).

Cremation has taken place at Raymond’s request and a private family gathering will be held to celebrate his life.
