Condolences

We have such good memories of this lovely man, sharing family dinners at the farm, seeing Ray at church functions and often at the Rosseau Fair. Marg was a person one never forgets as her energy and leadership and kindness were such a part of the village of Rosseau. So many accomplishments to the good of the village took place with their hard work. They were a great couple. Our thoughts are with you Keith and Dawn and of course with your family. Buffi and Dave

Our hearts go out to all the family, especially Keith & Dawn. Ray welcomed us at Church of Redeemer and made us feel welcomed. He and Brian loved talking fishing and anything Maple. Our first official spring here he asked us out to the farm to see his syrup setup. We will miss his gentle smile, many stories and kind heart. May all the family know you are in our thoughts & prayers.
Cathy & Brian

On behalf of Church of the Redeemer in Rosseau we are very sorry to hear of Rays passing.
He was such a gentleman and a strong presence in the church through the many years helping with caring for the property, sidesman for many years with Joe Bissonette at his side. They are together again. God look after them both!!
He will be missed but lead such a wonderful life as father, grandfather, brother, husband and a friend to so very many. Rest in peace Ray you will be missed!

So sorry for your loss. Ray will be dearly missed, our community has lost another wonderful, kind and gentle soul. Hugs and prayers from our house to yours.

We were saddened to learn of Ray’s passing. Although we met Keith and Dawn only a few times, you are in our thoughts. David, we are very sorry for the loss of your dear father in law. He was such a kind gentleman. Thinking of you all.
