Died:
MARSTERS, Robert Frederick \'Bob\'
Age 75 of Hantsport, passed away on Friday, April 8, 2016, in the Halifax Infirmary, QEII, Halifax. Born in Hantsport on February 15, 1941, he was the son of the late Frederick Davison Marsters and Laura Louise (Lane) Marsters. Bob took his education entirely at Hantsport School, with the exception of Grade XII which was taken at Windsor Academy, and even though he excelled in his studies, he was not particularly enthused with attending school. On completion of school, he attended a private business college in Windsor. Bob then joined H.R. Doane and Company (now Grant Thornton) and acquired his Chartered Accountant’s designation in the late 1960’s and served for many years in their offices in Windsor and Halifax, and in Saint John, N.B. In 1977 Bob returned to Hantsport and established his own public accounting practice, serving his clients in the area for well over 30 years, many of them becoming more like family than business clients. He was particularly interested in history, especially the history of Hantsport and the local area. Bob cherished his Canadian citizenship, but he was equally proud of his British heritage; he was a staunch supporter of the monarchy. Bob liked to garden and he loved animals, especially cats, many of them being strays or ones he adopted. Cremation has taken place under the care of Lindsay’s Windsor Funeral Home, 194 King St., P.O. Box 2218, Windsor, NS B0N 2T0. Bob’s ashes will be buried in the Marsters family plot in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport, at a later date.

Captain Ray C. RILEY — Hantsport
Of Hantsport, passed away peacefully May 30, 2022, at home, as he would have wished. He lived most of his 93 years in his family home except for a few years in Liverpool during the war when his father worked for Mersey Paper. He was predeceased by his parents, Clarence and Stella (Taylor); sister, Irma Ouellette; and wife, Jean (Silver). Ray loved playing baseball and hockey in his youth and was avid Toronto Blue Jays fan. He was pleased to know grandson, Reagan, shared his love of baseball and enjoyed hearing the stories of his games, both baseball and hockey. Ray was a volunteer fireman for the Hantsport Fire Department for many years. He enjoyed woodworking and all manners of carpentry and construction. He always had a project on the go and enjoyed lending a hand to others. When Ray was not on land, he was at sea. At 17, he went on what was envisioned to be a single trip and it turned into a 55 year career sailing almost exclusively for Gypsum Transportation Limited, with short stint as Captain of the Otis Wack in Hantsport. During his career he earned a Master Mariner (Foreign Going) license and held a Pilot’s License for the Bras d’Or Lakes (Little Narrows). He took command of new ships direct from the shipyards in Ontario, Germany, and Korea but spent the majority of this career plying the sea to and from various ports between the Eastern Seaboard and the Caribbean, always returning home to his family in Hantsport. In 2010 he was on board a barge in the Avon River, bringing a church from Walton to the Avondale dock. He later commented that his last job was “delivering a church with Capt. Stanley Lord”. “A fine, sturdy ship to sail in. And revered old shipmates to crew. And with an angel riding the Masthead And Land, now long out of view”. Family will be scheduling a service early August.
