Ray will also be missed by his nieces, nephews, family and friends too numerous to mention. He was predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Dina (Girard); his brother Aime; nephew Larry; and his father-in-law, Ralph Hancox. Ray attended high school in St. Norbert where he met his best friend and soulmate, Jackie. They were married October 9, 1976. He remained a loving, supportive and devoted husband and father who was involved in all aspects of his daughters' lives. Ray was a man who put 150% into anything he took on, whether it was interpreting for the hearing impaired, working as a medical lab technologist or driving for City of Winnipeg Transit and Beaver Bus Lines. His enthusiasm went on to include Scouting, scuba diving, archery and his favourite pastime, Flight Simulator on the computer. He was a dedicated blood donor, having donated over 180 times. Ray also loved music and taught himself to play the guitar. Through his encouragement and guidance, he influenced so many young people in a positive way. You know who you are! We will be forever grateful for his videotaping skills and the treasured memories he preserved for us. The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at CancerCare Manitoba, Palliative Care Program and Riverview Health Centre. Jackie would also like to thank her colleagues and friends at SBGH Labour Delivery for their tremendous and unwavering support. Special thanks to all those who kept us in their prayers and who made our lives a little easier in so many ways. Cremation has taken place.
