Jeannine:
I met Ray in 1982 while a member of the Calgary Police; he was known as a great manager, a man who was kind towards people, and one who would challenge you to do your best. I appreciated his guidance and advice, and most of all, his friendship. My thoughts are with you and your family. Truly a well life lived.

Dear Family, I first met Ray at Lacombe Home during WW11. We met again at St.Mary's High School and once more playing for the Bronks football team. Fate never allowed us to meet again. At each stage that we met, I found Ray to be a caring person and easy to be with.He was a fun-loving guy with a smile on his face.Peace and love,Ray, until we meet again. My prayers are with Jeannine and his children in their grief. Gary DeMan

My condolences to the family and friends of Ray. I worked for Ray in the 80's at Two District shortly before he retired to join Medicine Hat. He was one of the best bosses that I had and was also a great person. My thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.

Very sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I will miss his very practical and down to earth analysis on various issues. He had great strength of character and strong opinions. He was someone I really enjoyed spending time with.
As I am in Arizona I will miss the Service but will be thinking a lot about you, Ray and all your family.
Wishing you the Best.

Our condolences on Ray's passing, Jeannine. I worked with Ray in a patrol in the early '60s but I remember most fondly an evening at one of "those" police functions how you and Ray welcomed Donna and I to your table. We have never forgotten.
A special memory of a special couple
