Ray grew up on the family farm and worked for Marmora Township and General Motors. After
he married Judy, the love of his life, they returned to the farm where he dairy and later beef
farmed for 53 years. Ray had a love for his work horses and roan coloured cattle. He thoroughly
enjoyed hunting with friends, the family cottage, pontoon boat rides, cutting wood, berry picking,
and playing cards and games with his loving grandkids and friends. He always spoke fondly of
his many trips with the family to Jamaica where priceless memories were made.
