Obituary
WINDSOR, VT
Raymond J. Fotion III, 53, a longtime resident of Windsor, passed away Friday, August 4 at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
He was born November 1, 1963 in Ansonia, CT to Raymond J. Fotion II and Marion (Braun) Fotion. He moved to Windsor with his family as a young boy. He received his schooling in Windsor and attended Windsor High School and later joined the US Army. During his service he met Ursula Pote and married in Germany in 1984. Following his honorable discharge they returned to Windsor where they continued to raise their sons, Raymond and Anthony. Ray was an accomplished machinist and as a young man worked at the American Precision Museum in Windsor where he found his passion for machinery. He later became employed at Split Ball Bearing in Lebanon, now known as Timken Aerospace for more then twenty years. He most recently was employed as a machinist at Spirol Machine in Windsor.
Ray was fond of hunting, fishing and enjoying the outdoors and all it has to offer. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family and many friends. Ray will continue to be remembered as a pillar of strength and passion to many and will continue to be revered as a caring and loving man.
He is survived by his father, Raymond J. Fotion II of Newbury, VT, his mother, Marion Paquette of Shoreham, VT, his two sons, Raymond M. Fotion of Hartland, and Anthony J.
