He was a long time resident of Oakview Place. Raymond is predeceased by his wife Elizabeth, his parents Stanley G. and Maud Kennett Fogg, older brothers Callum, Stanley and Melville, nephews Reg Fogg of Toledo, Ohio, and John D.

Ray was born in 1928 on Rutland Street, in St. James, MB (a true Blue Blood ). He was very active in sports, baseball, and lacrosse for Deer Lodge CC and the Winnipeg Olympics Sr. Team, and hockey for numerous teams (the Sioux Hawks, Calgary Buffaloes, and Trail, BC are just a few). Upon joining the Navy, he also played there. His love of horses had him working at Polo Park Race Track at an early age and traveling with them.
