Sonia, so sorry to learn of Raymond's passing. Though not much connection in our later life he was one of our favorite uncles when we were kids. I got to sit on his lap and drive his car when I was waaaay to young. Just loved that and the many other things he did for us. - Posted by: Gary Bessette (nephew) on: Jun 12, 2014

I am so sorry about your Dad, Kim. Mine has been gone for over 15 years and I still think of him every day. My heart goes out to you. His suffering is over, now ours continue. It's just the way of the world. Take care. Love, Lori - Posted by: Lori PinchevsLorrkyl (Ki) on: Jun 09, 2014

Ray, did not know that you were ill, so sorry that you have passed. A lot of memories of you when I was a teenager - you took me to Chinatown for dinner, never forgot that, it was fun. Now you will join all those who went before, REST IN PEACE, until we all meet again. Kathy - Posted by: Kathy St. Germain (Cousin) on: Jun 08, 2014
