Obituary
Passed peacefully away at Carbonear General Hospital on Friday May 20, 2022 after a long battle with cancer, Raymond David Reid of South Dildo, aged 74 years.
Predeceased by parents, Freeman and Elizabeth Reid.
Leaving to mourn and celebrate his life are his loving wife of 49 years, Velma; daughter, Juanita (Eddie) and grandson, Alex; son, Mark; like a daughter to him, Nichole (Ronnie, Alexandra, and Joshua); uncle, Don Reid; siblings, Sylvia (Gordon) Brenton, Calvin (Hilda) Reid, Jim (Lorraine) Reid, Elsie Reid, and Marjorie (Thomas) Reid; as well as many brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and friends.
He always took life one day at a time, never worried, always said it is what it is!
As a man of few words, he lived his life humble through hard work and dedication for his family and friends, with his ability to be a jack of all trades from fixing cars and building machinery to small detail carving. He had a delicate touch and there was nothing he wouldn’t do or couldn’t do to provide a wonderful life as a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. You will be missed and we all love you. You were a very successful man and will never be forgotten.
