We the Schwartz family are sad to hear of Ray's passing and our heartfelt sympathies to his family.
I remember Ray working with our dad at the dinning room table on the book “Cape Breton Island A Select View”. The book was a great tribute to the mining heritage of New Waterford and a great educational addition to the Coal Bowl.

I am very sorry to read of Ray's death. Ray was always a great guy and all the tributes paid to him are very well-deserved. He was a leader from his early school years and that continued throughout his life. The years go by so quickly and there never seems to be enough time in life to take in all that life offers to us.

Mr. Kavanaugh was my favorite teacher. His subject matter was "The World". His lesson was "Make it better". I always looked forward to his class. I would leave inspired and deep in thought...and then not pay attention in the next class...probably chemistry.
His focused efforts leave a lasting legacy in the Cape Breton community, especially through development of our tourism assets like the airport and marketing agency Destination Cape Breton. He helped New Waterford move forward after the mines closed, doing as much as humanly possible with the cards he was dealt. Cape Breton owes a lot of its post-industrial successes to Ray's imagination and persistence.
To his wife Carmie, Jamie and brothers and extended family - I'm so sorry for your loss. May your many fond memories of him give you comfort during this sorrowful time.

Dear Carmie and family,
Elaine and I were deeply saddened to hear of Ray’s passing. He was a very special individual with many wonderful qualities. I worked with him for many years during his time as a teacher, a union president, a municipal leader, on the Executive Board of the airport and I knew him as an admired friend.
In all these different capacities, I was always impressed by his intelligence, work ethic, humour and his commitment to the job at hand, His dedication to his profession was only surpassed by his love and caring for his family. Our community suffers a great loss at his passing; he was a good man!
You and your family have our deepest condolences.

I am very aware of Ray’s outstanding contribution to the NSTU and to the teaching profession. His efforts have provided many benefits to teachers who do not even realize it.
