After leaving the farm and moving to Winnipeg, he was employed with Phillips and Temro Industries for 34 years. Ray was a devoted husband and father; he had a great love for his family and made each and every family member feel special. Dad, you were very brave. It was hard to say good-bye. Thanks be to God for your life; for being our Dad; for your friendship; for our talks - you were very precious to us and we love you. One of Rays interests was helping others. He was always there to lend a hand; provide a shoulder to cry on or offer comforting advice. Ray was a strong supporter of health and wellness. He advocated Supplementation and Certified Reflexology to aid self-improvement. Throughout his years, Rays weekends were filled with camping, snowmobiling, and many fishing trips to the Whiteshell. Ray also had a great passion for music and dancing. In his early years he loved to play the drums - entertaining with the "Impalas" and "The Road Runners" local bands. He entertained at numerous socials and weddings. Prayers will be said on Thursday, June 15 at 8:30 p.m. from Mary Mother of the Church, 85 Kirkbridge Drive.
