Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • I appreciated Ray's incisive mind and his good humour. His laugh was infectious, even when one was dealing with him as part of an interprovincial discussion via telephone! Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Peggy Buckley (work colleague (La Ronge and Yukon)) on: Nov 11, 2013

  • I credit Rays' unconventional efforts as my "campaign manager" for getting me elected president of the Elmwood High School student body in 1959. I'm sorry to see he's gone so soon. RIP Flip. - Posted by: Jim Dodds (high school friend) on: Nov 11, 2013

  • Ray and I were friends from school and the neighbourhood. I lived on Argyle Street and Ray and I used to shoot pool together and go for lunch or a drive and hang out at the canteens when we were teenagers. I'll miss him and his unique sense of humour. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Bill Iveniuk (Lifetime friend now living in Toronto) on: Nov 09, 2013
