He is survived by son, Liam and daughter Abbigail; sisters, Laura and Julie; brother Paul; and mother-in-law Carol. He was Pre-deceased by his Mom and Dad, Barbara and Robert; and brother-in-law Geoff. Ray was born in Victoria in 1963 to Barbara and Robert Simms. His love for his family was profound as he cherished time spent over the years with many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He worked in the construction industry for most of his life on Vancouver Island, Greater Vancouver, and even Bermuda! Throughout his adult life, Ray had a love for fishing and was an active team member on several bowling leagues until his diagnoses of Muscular Dystrophy limited his abilities.

So sorry to hear of Raymond's passing. Sincere condolences to his wife, children, sisters and brother. Although it has been years since I had contact with my nephew, Raymond, I remember fondly our phone conversations. I have included one of my favourite photos of him. May he rest in peace.
