Hi Everyone,
My name is Ray Fontaine and I am from Northampton, Massachusetts. I didn’t grow up in Fairhaven, but my father, Ray Fontaine, did.
I have never met my dad. My mom, recently deceased, would only say that he was a very special man and that he did not want to leave, but had to for our safety.
I have received a birthday card from him every year with no return address. It’s always the same card with Garfield blowing out a candle on top of lasagna. This year marks the first birthday (June 6th) that one did not arrive.
I’ve been cleaning out mom’s things and came across a small cigar box labeled “Paul” and came across some things that might help me learn more about my dad:
-His name tag from the Fairhaven Drive-In -A receipt from a cafeteria at a place called X-Tec -A Fairhaven library card
There’s some other stuff but it doesn’t make sense.
Anyways, just looking to see if anyone knew my dad. I’m guessing he would be in his mid-60s. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi Ray, first of all condolences on your mother's passing. I hope you're doing OK.
Do you have any dates that might help narrow things down?

Thank you for the condolences. My dad would be around 60 by mom’s math. The library card is from 1980. The cafeteria receipt has to be a mistake because it’s September 2024.

The library card is from 1980.I don't want to tell you that it's not worth the time following up BUT a lot of the FPL records were lost during the Hum. You could ask if there are records in the Oghma Collection or ask Grammy Jenkins and the Historical Society The cafeteria receipt has to be a mistake because it’s September 2024.Probably best to destroy the receipt and pretend like it never happened. Bad things happen to people who ask too many questions about X-Tec
