Raymond, I will miss our one-on-one chats and one in particular in which you said, "Gordie, the Lord has made you a new man". To which I say, amen. Will miss you Raymond. - Posted by: Gordie Fawcett (Son-In-Law) on: Jul 29, 2014

Dear Messner family. We were sorry to hear of Ray's passing. My husband Ian & I have fond memories of bowling with Ray in the Monday Night Mixed league in Carman. He was a great sportsman and loved to have a great time with all of us. He is dearly missed by the league for a few years now. May he rest in peace and no longer be in pain.

I was very sad to hear Ray had passed away. I worked for Ray at Dominion Lumber along with two of my best friends. My good friend Marc Pellerin dated Ray's daughter Karen and we used to all hang out together. Your father was a very special man and he will be missed. - Posted by: David Newton (Friend) on: Jul 27, 2014

My grandpa was an amazing man so full of life, so happy, always loved seeing his kids and grandkids. It was sad to see him go was the hardest thing to see and even sadder knowing he will not be at my big brother's wedding and we will now have Christmases without him - that was his favourite time of year. But I know he is looking down on us smiling and happy. No more suffering and pain, you're in a better place. Grandpa heaven gained a beautiful angel, love you, rest easy. - Posted by: Amy-Lynne Whiten (Granddaughter ) on: Jul 27, 2014
