Ray and Nelson were two of a kind... loved joking around and helping people was second nature to both of them! We always enjoyed our coffee time with Nelson at Sobeys. Prior to that we had many great times together in Ile-des-Chenes, where we have such wonderful memories. So sorry to lose a friend... he will remain fondly in our hearts! Our deepest sympathies.
