His last 12 years he lived at Mamette Lake, Merritt, BC. Raymond enjoyed travelling and fishing, but his greatest enjoyment and talent laid in the beautiful work he did with his scrollsaw. He will never be forgotten, for the memories each of us have in our hearts for him. Cremation has taken place.
