JOHN RAYMOND STEVENS BIG RAY Our Dad! Our Hero! He lived a great life in adoration with his beautiful bride, our mother, Joan. A pioneer, a man's man, a true gentleman. A hard worker, a committed community giver, a neighbour, a friend, a doting husband and father. Raymond truly had it all... love, faith and happiness! Our Dad. He rose to great success in the world of business yet remained ever so humble and giving. He embraced his friendships and lived large, sharing and giving of his fortunate path. He would shake your hand with strength and sincerity. An inspiration to all, a breath of fresh air. It's been six years since he's left our side, yet all who remember him still talk with great pride. Unseen and unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, and so very dear. Leaving behind his wife of 49 years, Joan and their children, son Christopher and wife Lori, daughter Karen and husband Neil, son Daniel and wife Barbara, daughter Joanne and husband John; 11 loving grandchildren: Matthew and Lisa; Lauren, Michael and Chelsea-Rae; Amanda, Michelle and Kelsey; Presley-Raye, Paris and Jack. Let's not forget to mention Leo the Cat! With Love and Remembrance Always, Your Family. We Miss you.
