Raymond Arsenault
We regret to announce the passing of a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend. Born in Glace Bay he was the son of late Michael and Dorothy (Reynolds) Arsenault. Raymond (83) was employed with Shores Warehouse and Hostess Frito Lay until his retirement. Raymond enjoyed over 30 years of camping with the love of his life Mary at Mira Water Park.
