He was born in Keene on November 12, 1961, the son of the late Phyllis A. (Thompson) and Robert H. Buffum.
Ray had been employed by the Melanson Company of Keene and most recently Troy Mills.
Family was of the utmost importance to Ray. He treasured times surrounded by those he loved and knew how to make the holidays a special occasion. He had a heart of gold and was willing to give the shirt off his back for someone in need. He was known for his funny sense of humor. Ray appreciated the beauty of nature and spending time in the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and fisherman.
Ray will be missed by his daughters: Amber D. Buffum of New York and Natasha R. Buffum of New York; grandchildren: Connor, Payton, Madilynne, and Emory; brother: Robert H. Buffum, Jr. of Swanzey, NH; sisters: Brenda E. Buffum of Keene, NH, Cynthia A. Buffum of Louisiana, and Belinda J. Dunton and her husband Brian C. Dunton of Swanzey, NH; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
