Yesterday evening while speaking with Graham I learned of Ray’s passing.I felt like I was in shock.This news saddened me deeply.
I met Ray in 1993 after buying a home in Brakendale that needed some ductwork to hook up an old furnace so naturally I found myself knocking on the door of Squamish heating and was quickly greeted by an extremely pleasant and humorous man. He invited me in and gave me a listen even though he didn’t know me from Adam.He quickly figured out by my accident that I was a Newfoundlander so naturally there was a few beers involved.Soon after Ray came to my house in Brackendale and did some measuring. A few days later I came home to several pieces of ductwork, hangers, couplers and takeoffs as he figured I was a do it your selfer. I got my furnace going and a few years after that needed a new one installed for a basement suite that I had put in and again Squamish heating jumped to my request. Ray always made me feel like I was a good friend and worthy of his undivided attention he had that special gift. I will always hold the Newell family close to my heart because of that man and I will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace and may your family be comforted by how fondly he will be remembered by the countless amounts of people like me that he helped in his life time.I’ll never forget him as long as I live.I sincerely feel like I lost a dear friend.

My sincere condolences to you in the passing of Ray. I always enjoyed talking to Ray whenever our paths crossed. I will always remember him as a man who had a wonderful sense of humor and without reservation, giving to both his family and community. A man of integrity. My thoughts are with you.
