Raymond J. Morrow

Raymond J. Morrow, 82, of Tiverton, passed away Sunday, July 7, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was the husband of Emily (Ferreira) Morrow. Ray was born in Cheboygan, Michigan. He was the oldest son of Minnie and Roy Morrow.

In addition to his wife of 59 years, he leaves behind three devoted daughters, Theresa Canulla (husband Marcus), Joyce Johnson (husband Mark), and Raeann Morrow (companion Thomas Kaminski). He delighted in being “Papa” to granddaughters Megan Remmes (husband Robert) and Laura Canulla (fiancé Adam Oliveira) and great-grandsons Robert and Benjamin Remmes.

Ray graduated from Niles High School in 1956. Upon graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and proudly served on the USS Arcadia. After serving his country, Ray worked as a research and development engineer. In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing with friends and family and taking his daily walks. Although he spent most of his adult life in RI, Ray had strong ties to his native Michigan where he is survived by a brother Peter (wife Penny) and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by a sister Mary Pedersen (husband George). Per Ray’s request, arrangements will be private. Condolences can be made at Almeida-Pocasset.com.
