Raymond Foster

Ray was born on November 3, 1935, and after 91 wonderful years, passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, on his birthday. There is something remarkable about a life that comes full circle in this way, a reminder that every year, every day, and every moment mattered.

Ray found joy in life's simple pleasures. Whether he was ice fishing, playing crib, camping with family, tending his garden, or cheering on the Flames and Blue Jays, he embraced each day with enthusiasm and appreciation. He enjoyed being outdoors, spending time with those he loved, and creating memories that will be treasured forever.

But more than any hobby or pastime, Ray's greatest passion was his family. He was a devoted and loving husband to Gail for 66.5 years. He was a proud father of Patti (Dwight), Stacey (Ryan), and Dean (Debbie); and a caring grandfather and great-grandfather to all their children. Also a loyal brother and friend. He taught us the value of hard work, kindness, laughter, and spending time together. His love and steady presence shaped the lives of all who knew him.

While we mourn his loss, we are grateful for the gift of having known him. The stories he shared, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave will continue to live on through his family and friends.

Happy 91st Birthday, Ray. Thank you for the memories, the guidance, and the love. You will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved. Rest in peace.
