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.

We are so sorry for another loss in your family. We are sure you have good memories of Ray as he was such a pleasant person. Thinking of you all and glad that Ray is at peace now.
Love from Bruce and Linda Bennett.
My condolences to all of Rays family. I knew Ray from Golf and B&C meats where he worked with my good friend Daryl Milne and through his brother Art. Ray was a good man and will be very much missed. I hear theres a fabulous 18 hole Couse in heaven. Tee one up for me Ray. RIP
I only knew Ray as a casual acquaintance, but he always took the time to humour me and provided a listening ear. he was truly a wonderful man. I had the good fortune to tee it with Ray in his Cedar Hill days, a good sport and fine companion. I will miss the occasional moments when we would happen upon one another….. always at a golf course.
Dennis and Margaret Dale,
Ray was always a cheerful and positive presence around the Uplands Golf Club and we all miss him. It’s a tragedy that he was taken so soon. Our sincere condolences.
