He loved much, and was loved much in return, most especially by his wife Lilian Wray (nee Dalton), who died in 1961; his wife Margaret Wray (nee Anderson) who died in 1978; and his wife Dorothy Wray (nee Jones) who died in 1997. He is also predeceased by his parents, Henry and Kate Wray of Winnipeg; and his great-grandson Christopher Gregoire. He is survived by his sister Elise Fitzsimmons; his son William Wray; and daughter-in-law Tokuko Wray; his grandchildren, Sheila Gregoire and Anthony Wray; his great-granddaughters, Rebecca Gregoire and Kathryn Gregoire; and many nieces and nephews. He will be remembered by many in Winnipeg, where he made a name for himself as a decorator. He later retired to Ottawa, where he continued to make many friends and fix anything that needed it. A funeral service will be held in Ottawa on May 21 at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. Interment will occur at a date to be announced in Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to the Canadian Hearing Society.
