I was saddened upon learning of Ray's passing. But, as I reflected on those who have passed through our local travel community, I have only good memories of Ray, along with my husband Ken and how they were the movers and shakers of a very exciting, satisfying and rewarding times past. I'm sure he had a fantastic trip and is enjoying the company of many old buddies, recounting many of their adventures and telling their usual jokes. Remember the good times.

Dear Mary and Family:
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of Ray. We will miss Ray dearly. I remember how concerned and sad he was when he found out that Carl was diagnosed with cancer. He was a special person who touched the lives of everyone he met. May God grant you strength and peace as you deal with the loss of your best friend.

In 1971, I didn’t want a full time job, so I joined Voyageur Travel because Ray offered me a job working as much or as little as I chose. It wasn’t long before I was working 8+ hour days, and had my daughters round the dining room table writing tickets at night!
I worked closely with Ray for over 20 years and I can honestly say that, through thick and thin, through good times and not so good times, there was never a dull day at Voyageur. We ran charters to Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, to Mazatlan as well as to Tampa, Florida. There was always something exciting going on. Of course, we weren’t only involved in selling travel, but, at various times, we were buying and selling suitcases, cigars, turtle steaks and clocks, as well as Piccadilly Bus Tours.
Ray, your enthusiastic approach to every facet of the travel industry and life never ceased to amaze and inspire me. I have often said that I consider you “immortal” and indeed, you will live on in all our hearts forever.

Dear Mary,Lynda and Family,
Working for Ray at Voyaguer was so fun that a summer job lasted over 15 years. Ray's charismatic personality and joy for life made every day an adventure. He will not soon be forgotten.

Hi Lynda,
I met your Dad many years ago when he hired me as one of his tour guides at Piccadilly Tours. He also hired me as his 'chauffeur' that same summer. I have and will always remember his kindness and his entrepreneurial spirit. Sending you and your family strength and my condolences, Claudia Morrison

To my sister Mary and the Sally family,
Our brother in law was special in so many ways. We will miss his humour, jokes and just being "Ray". We have enjoyed so many pool parties and Christmas gatherings through out the years. Mary enriched his life in so many ways and in return he loved her dearly. Well Ray I know you will be a joy to every one up there in heaven. I hope they have playing cards for Euchre, Black Jack and TV's to watch your favourite sports. Until we meet again.
Love Shirley & Johnny

My sincere sympathy to the Sally Family.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ray via his Festival involvement. He had a heart of gold, always willing to do whatever he could to be supportive. He even travelled with us to Holland and of course we had fun.We will keep vibrant memorizes of him. Will have a special thought for him on Friday.

Mary, Lynda and the Sally Family,
Working at Voyageur was so much like being with family. Although Ray took awhile to stop calling me 'hey you' and finally learned my name, he always treated me with respect and a twinkle in his eyes. Best boss ever! Rest in Peace, you sure deserve it after all your accomplishments. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our sincere sympathy to the Sally family.
I had the pleasure of working for Ray at Voyageur travel. As I mentioned in an email to Lynda earlier this week, he was the best boss I worked for in all my years in the travel industry. He had a good sense of humour, was a great charmer when he needed miracles done for travel for his friends(!), and a real entrepreneur, including his poetry.
Our hearts go out to you in your loss,
Katherine and Michael Durrer

Ray and Lynda were like family for me growing up at Voyageur. Ray was welcoming and always laughing which made everyone else jolly. I thought all bosses were like Ray until I began working myself then I realized how unique and special Ray was.
My sympathies to you all for this loss.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to Ray's family, particularly Lynda, on behalf of my mother, Yvonne Elliott. She enjoyed the many years she had working with Ray at Voyageur Travel. I had the opportunity to see Ray on many occasions myself and he was a wonderful, fun-loving man.
