Ray retired from Loblaws (National Grocers) in January 2008 after 34 years of service. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and hunting and was a member of the Nosbonsing Anglers and Hunters. He enjoyed watching sports, especially hockey and was a true Montreal Canadiens fan. He loved spending quality time at the camp in Grand Desert where he and Michelle planned to retire later this year. Ray was a very handy, hardworking man who could fix just about anything and held the title “Ray can do it”. A good friend to so many, he had the ability to strike up a conversation with just about anyone he met. He will be sadly missed by many close friends, cousins, nieces and nephews.
