RAYMOND C. GAUTHIER July 20, 1951 - July 18, 2015 Peacefully with his loving wife by his side, Ray passed away at the Health Sciences Centre at the age of 63 years. Ray is survived by his wife Lorraine, his siblings: Marcel (Iris), Lise (Bernie), Dennis (Johanne), Gerard (Evangeline), Paul and Michel (Connie) Gauthier; along with sisters-in-laws Anna (Jerald) Simundson and Rolande Remillard as well as many nephews, nieces and good friends. Ray was predeceased by his parents Dr. Liguori Gauthier in 1989 and Therese (nee Lapointe) in 2001. Ray worked for 38 years with the C.N. Rail and in his retirement, for E.S.I. Rail Ltd. on a part time basis. His jobs also fulfilled his other passion of travelling. You didn't have to ask him twice to take a trip with his truck. He loved to drive to Arizona and spend some time there during our cold winters. The family wish to thank the staff of the GH 6 for their compassionate care. In keeping with Ray's wishes, cremation has taken place and the family invites you to come celebrate his life on Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ray's memory may be made to CancerCare Manitoba. Interment will take place at a later date. The Coutu Family in care of arrangements: E.J. COUTU & CO.
