Death notice for the town of: Port-Perry, Province: Ontario
We lived in Port Perry for a few years back in the 80’s and tried to restore an old home on Mary Street. Ray was my “go to guy” when I needed to fix an old fixture or something it was Ray I talked to. He always had a smile and a suggestion. Great guy.
My daughter, Victoria was “best budds” with Ray at Home Hardware since she had many questions regarding home and farm repair while I was overseas for ten years. Ray never failed to give her the best advice and products for whatever she asked him about. Ray was sadly missed after he retired.
I missed Ray from the hardware. I did see him at the auctions and always enjoyed his company. .Ray will be missed.
