RAYMOND KENDALL April 4, 1920 - December 5, 2016 It is with deep sadness that the Kendall family announces the passing of Raymond Arthur Kendall on December 5, 2016 at the age of 96. He has left behind sons, Douglas (Cathy) and Ralph (Lorna); grandsons, Kristopher (Kristy) and Gregory (Chantal); and his cherished great-grandchildren, Thea, Kaida, Ava, Scarlet and Kobe; and sisters-in-law Marj and Helen. Ray was predeceased by his wife Dorothy (Petterson); parents, Jacob and Katherine; brother Ernie and sister-in-law Bessie; brother Harold and sister-in-law Toni; brother Maxwell; and brother Donald. Ray was born in Morden, MB. He moved with his parents and brothers to the Kendall farm in Starbuck in 1933. At 17 Ray volunteered with the Royal Canadian Navy Reserves during the Second World War and worked as a telegraphist on numerous RCN ships escorting supply convoys overseas to many different ports. He ended his last year of the war teaching telegraph. Ray married Dorothy in 1944 and upon his return from war service they started farming at Starbuck in 1946, where they remained well into their retirement. In 2011 they moved into Winnipeg to enjoy their old age together. Ray and Dot were one of the lucky couples who lived long healthy lives together for over 72 years. They were partners on the farm, friends, and loved and supported each other throughout their years together. Dad's heart was broken when Mom passed in April of 2016 and it would not heal. The family will miss you Granddad, your stories, your smiles, and your music. We take comfort in knowing you and Mom are back together and in peace. A memorial service will be held on Monday, May 8, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Boulevard. There will be a private family interment at Starbuck after the reception. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to the Starbuck United Church Memorial Fund, Starbuck, Manitoba, R0G 2P0 or to a charity of your choice.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • I want to send my condolences to you all on the recent passing of your father, Raymond. I remember your Dad and Mom as very nice people of Starbuck community. And the last time I have seen them both was at my late Uncle Obert's 80th B.D. in Starbuck. I had a nice chat with them then. It's always nice to know that they are now together once again and in the arms of their Lord. God be with you all and give you His Peace in your heart.
