With great sadness we announce the passing of Ray Larocque after a courageous battle with cancer on Friday, December 16, 2022 at the Brockville General Hospital with his loving wife Hilda by his side. He was 78 years old. Loving father of Ron, James and Peter (Jennifer), several grandchildren and his brothers-in-law Rick Gibson (Kathy) and John Raisin (Sandra) as well as several treasured nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by his parents Eugene and Thelma (Prue) Larocque.
Ray loved long drives, hunting, sports, gardening and most of all Hilda’s baking. Ray worked in Toronto as a mechanical draftsperson for many years until he moved to Brockville, where he was employed by Proctor and Gamble. There he made many lifelong friends.
Ray was especially thankful for the loving care and time that Peter, Jennifer and granddaughter Jenevra spent with him. The family greatly appreciates the loving care and support of the staff at the Kingston Cancer Centre, Brockville General Hospital and Saint Elizabeth nurse Amber Fretts. A very special thanks to Dr. Lui, Dr Hay, Dr. Reid, Dr. Schellenberg and Dr. Ashe.
Following Ray’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to the Irvine Funeral Home, 4 James St., E., Brockville. In lieu of flowers donations to the Kingston Cancer Centre or the Brockville General Hospital – Palliative Care would be greatly appreciated.
