December 4, 2025 at the age of 84. Predeceased by his wife, Nancy (Dier) Altmire; parents, Jesse and Elizabeth (Loson) Altmire; brothers, Richard Altmire, Glenn Altmire; sister, Joyce (Bruce) Schneider; daughter-in-law, Donna Altmire.

Ray's time at the Pajco paper mill, now Neenah Paper, in Lowville was the source of many adventures that he loved to reminisce about. Everyone who knew him knew how he loved to share stories! Ray also enjoyed going to the casino and playing cards, cheering on his teams: the NY Yankees and Giants, collecting coins, and spending time hunting and fishing in the great outdoors. Most of all, he cherished his family and especially loved watching his grandchildren play sports. He will be dearly missed by his loved ones.
