Died:
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.
