Ray was a truly devoted husband and best friend to his beloved wife Gail and a loving and supportive father, stepfather, grandfather, and great grandfather.

Ray was loved and respected by everyone who ever met him. He was always available to help no questions asked.

Ray thoroughly enjoyed 34.6 years as a tool and die maker at general motors in Oshawa.
