To the Gendron family and friends,

One of my favorite BICSI memories was when I meet Ray in Orlando for the first time. He flagged me down as I passed by and did his magic on me.After a quick look at my badge, he soon found out I was also living in Kirkland and our friendship began from there.Few people I have meet got so much done in such a short time as Ray did. While politely talking about our commonalities of both belonging to the same municpality, he would continue to ask the BICSI bretheren for supoort to insure the goal for the that years specific charity was meet and or exceeded.I was proud to wear the happy face sticker,which as we all know meant that we had made a donation, and because Ray kinda grew on you it wasn't long before you were helping him out.
Ray was one of the reasons that I decided to pursue my RCDD. I felt that if a person with such great passion ,and human qualities was in this organisation, then I wanted to be a part of it as well.
God Bless you Ray, If God needs someone to help out in heaven I know you will probably be first in line.
My sincerest condolences to the Gendron family

Like others in this "Guest Book"
I also had the privilege to work with Ray at Northern Electric/Nortel on & off in my 49+ years there. Many many times Ray brightened our days with his positive attitude & wit.

He was a good man with great work ethic.

We will always have fond memories of Ray.

Our deepest sympathies to Ray's Family

mrs gendron and family,

let me first say my, heartful condolences go out to all of you.
I worked for,NE,northern electric, installation dept. in the 1950's and that is where i first met RAY, although he was known as JUNIOR to us
I was in Ottawa when he organized ball games with bell telephone fellow workers, so we would have some thing to do in our spare time, always an organizer.
in those days we lived in rooming houses and did not have very much out of town expenses
anyways Junior/ Ray was a very highly compectived person even at that time 1950-1960,and he organized these games.
no more be said, the proof is in what he has done, no more need be said, except he has left us much too early
