Ray served in the UK, Mediterranean and Continental Europe until 1945 and then returned to the Keewatin area. He moved to Winnipeg to join his future wife Margaret, whom he was married to for 59 years. Ray worked at Canadian Roger's for 36 years and was well respected by his co-workers. He retired in 1983 to his second love, the cottage on Rice Lake. Ray spent many happy hours boating and walking with his wife. Family was very important to Ray and he loved spending time with his grandchildren at the lake. Ray's sharp wit, strong will, and sense of humour stayed with him until the end. The family would like to thank the staff at Deer Lodge Center (T5) for their care and support over the last three months.
