Raymond Edward Arnold
September 3, 1939 - April 5, 2024
It is with great sadness that the family share of Raymond’s passing on Friday April 5th at the age of 84 at Haldimand War Memorial Hospital in Dunnville after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Sandra (Featherstone) of 60 years. Predeceased by his son Bob. Survived by his children Dave (Christina), Joanne (RJ), and his grandkids Zack (Carley), Nick (Sydney), and Kelsey. Raymond will be missed by his sister Jean. Predeceased by brothers Ross and Neil, and sisters Helen and Mildred. He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, and their families. Special thanks to Dr. Ayoob for the great care over the last couple of months, the ER doctors, nurses as well as Jenna, our home care nurse who always brought a cheery smile with her.
Raymond worked on a farm and Werner milk route for 11 yrs, IMC for 20 yrs, and HNR/Town of Haldimand for 20 yrs as a truck driver. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, mowing his lawn and talking with his cottage neighbours at Featherstone Point. His grandchildren were the light of his life whether it was cooking breakfast, playing Sorry and Crokinole or watching the Maple Leafs and Blue Jays.
A service will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fisherville on April 10, 2024 at 11 a.m. There will be a viewing an hour before the service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, Fisherville or Jennie Deagle Dream Fund at Community Living Haldimand, 2256 River Road, Cayuga, ON N0A 1E0 https://clhaldimand.com/donate-now/.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Will miss my sports chats with Ray.
There are still kids here in the Dominican Republic playing with the Baseball gloves & balls he donated.
We will continue to fight with the Canada Geese on his behalf.
Rest in Peace
