Raymond JOYAL

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Raymond Joyal on April 11, 2015 at the age of 78. He passed away very peacefully at Tuscany Hospice House in The Villages, Florida surrounded by his beautiful wife and best friend Sandra (née Carroll) and his three children Monique (Paul Seidl), Renée and Paul (Josée Lefebvre). He was very proud of his two grandchildren Alexandre and Karyne, both of whom will miss him very much. He is predeceased by his two sisters Madeleine and Yolande and his two brothers Rolly and Claude. Dad's passion was painting but his life was dedicated to teaching. He worked at many Ottawa area high schools including Sir John A. Macdonald, Champlain, Glebe Collegiate and Commerce. He retired as vice-principal of Canterbury High School where he had begun teaching many years prior. We have many people to thank including Dr. Ramy Ibrahim, Dad's primary doctor who showed him compassion and friendship throughout his illness.To the Joyal and Desaulniers gang, thanks so much for the happiness you brought to Dad's life. A celebration of Raymond's life which was rich with love and happiness will be held at a later to be determined date. Dad ~ Moustache, your canine angel is waiting for you and Banjo is wagging his tail goodbye.
