RAYMOND DAVID BODNARUK

Condolences & Memories (8 entries)

• I just learned of Ray's passing. My condolences to his family. I spent a lot of time when I was younger at the Bodnaruk household. As well as being invited out to the cottages they would rent during the summer months. I will never forget the time Ray asked me jump in their smaller boat and drive it over to the boat launch to load up. I think he had more confidence in my skills than I did at the time but after a rather choppy ride and perhaps a couple sketchty moments I made it to the shore unscathed! Thank you Ray for some great memories! - Posted by: Noel Enns (Friend) on: Oct 22, 2023

• I'm very sad to hear of Ray's passing. I was privileged to be his next-door neighbour for a good decade, and both he and Ingrid were about the best neighbours a person could hope for. He was kind, helpful and very caring of our children. I appreciate his help and advice on many things over the years and will always remember our chats over the fence. He always had the best-looking lawn in the entire neighbourhood. I offer my sincerest condolences to Stacey and Darren and the rest of the family. - Posted by: Nevil Stephens (Neighbour) on: Mar 16, 2022

• I had the pleasure of getting to know Ray and Ingrid through the UM Curling League. Ray was always willing to share his knowledge of the sport. I was inspired by Ray and Ingrid's example (curling, golfing, skiing, skating) to become more physically active myself. We will miss them both! Condolences to the Bodnaruk family. - Posted by: Angela Osterreicher (UM Curling League) on: Mar 14, 2022

• I attended Highland High School at the same years of the Bodnaruk students. I remember Donald, Raymond and their sister all in the same classroom. Very intelligent students and I had the utmost respect for all. I was raised on a small farm in Ashfield School area. Just a short distance west of Highland Glen. My uncles , after serving in the war, opened Cox Bro’s store beside Ashfield school. I send my condolences to the Bodnaruk families. - Posted by: Darwin Cox (School classmate) on: Mar 13, 2022

• I was very sad to learn of Ray and Ingrid's passing. We had so many things in common - Ingrid and I played tennis at Tuxedo Tennis Club and became friends. We soon discovered that we loved golf and skiing, and had many fun adventures together. Ray led us down many a ski slope, and around many golf courses. Ingrid was just a great all-round athlete! Good at everything she tried. I'm very sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Claudette Blunderfield (friend) on: Mar 12, 2022
