My husband and I met Ray one summer at the West Country Village Condominiums. He masterfully built our deck for us along with the help of his lovely wife. He was such a handy man and hard worker with exceptional skills but more importantly..for the very short time we got to know him...he was extremely outgoing and kind. He was a gentleman. We were better having met him. God Bless you Ray and our thoughts and condolences to your lovely wife and family. The Galloways. - Posted by: Donna & John Galloway (acquaintances ) on: Dec 01, 2019

Les, Paul, Eric and Hanna. This is a very sad day for us. We met Ray and Les in the Dominican Republic about 13 years ago. We hit it off as friends right away and within a couple days we had many people join us and become friends. Often they are one time, but not with Ray and Les. We ended up meeting every summer here in Thunder Bay or back in Winnipeg. In the winter we met up in Cuba, Dominican. Jamaica and were looking forward to Puerto Vellarta this January. What a friend he was. Love you guys. Ryk and Ally. - Posted by: Ryk Prinselaar (Best friends) on: Nov 30, 2019
