After a courageous battle with cancer during which he somehow managed to keep his sense of humour, Ray passed away peacefully November 12, 2022 with his family by his side. A devoted husband, father, stepfather and the best Gampy in the entire world. Ray loved his family, his friends and the game of golf. Taken too soon but a life well lived. Ray was predeceased by his parents and brother Mike. He is survived by his wife Diane, daughter Rebecca (Seb), stepsons Nathan, Jordan (Nicole), granddaughters Taylor and Haley, siblings Carmen (Ken), Linda (Wayne), Janice, Art (Joanne), mother-in-law Joyce, sisters-in-law Marg, Carolyn (Richard), Janice and too many nieces and nephews to name individually.
Celebration of Life to follow in early 2023.
In lieu of flowers, Ray would like you to spend some extra time with loved ones and take that trip you have been thinking about because you never really know how much time you have.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Thinking of you during this difficult time. May all your wonderful memories of Ray comfort you during this heartbreaking time
I am truly sad to hear this….one of the good ones.
We were deeply saddened to learn of Ray’s passing. Ray always had a smile on his face whenever we saw him. We hope your memories of him help you through this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you.
Memories of working at B&C Foods/Meats are plenty, but best of all was Ray and his Christmas coffee and his help. He knew the business from ground up,and always able to figure things out.Thoughts and memories to Diane, Rebecca and family
My heartfelt condolences to the family. To simply say I worked with Ray doesn’t do our relationship justice. B&C picnics, pick slip shrapnel, and Christmas coffee; I have so many fond memories.
My condolences to Ray’s wife, children, and family. As Linda and I were at Mt. View together I remember meeting Ray a few times when we’d head to her place. Thoughts and prayers are with you all, may he rest in peace now his battle is over.
My condolences to Ray’s family. I worked with Ray for many years and enjoyed his sense of humour daily and his making Christmas coffee yearly. He will be missed.
Rebecca and Seb,
We are so sorry to hear your Dad has passed. We are sending our love your way at this time of great sorrow. We’re happy to hear you were able to spend so much time with him these past few months. May your memories help ease the pain as you mourn his loss.
Hugs and prayers across the miles,
Uncle Eric and Aunt Marge
