After a brief illness, it is with profound grief that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and friend Raymond Wayne Thacker. Aged 73. Predeceased by his wife Jeanette, Ray leaves behind 2 sons, Ron(Rhonda) and Larry(Kim); 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Raised in Coquitlam, Dad loved his childhood summers on Savary Island; riding English motorcycles; gardening; fishing and coffee with his friends and brothers. Above all, Dad was wholly dedicated to his family ,always there, always with care. Special thank you to the staff at Christine Morrison Hospice, Mission Hospital, for their extraordinary compassion and care. Private service.
