Much love and respect for Ray, he was more then just a great father, he was a great husband and a great person in general. I’ve known the family since the boys were just ankle biters, even though as we all grew and didn’t see each other as often I have always and I will always love them all like family.
My last chat with Ray was while fishing, let’s just say his sarcasm never faded each time I ran into him. LoL
You will be missed my friend, your sons aka my brothers have my support as well as your lovely wife. “Always”
Rest in peace my friend
Dear Joan and family,
Heather and I are very saddened to learn of Ray’s passing. We have so many fond memories of him from Mosaics and seeing him at other events of the Saskatchewan-Canadian Caribbean Association. We remember how hard Ray worked at Mosaic and how much fun he had at dances; he certainly was a role model.
