Fred; Please accept my condolences and pass on to Raymond's family. My association with Ray was through baseball with the Ste. Anne Eagles. He was one of the finest individuals as a player and person I ever had the privelege to play with. I thought often through the years about Ray and it was nice to see him at Gil's baseball reunion and again in 2014 during a visit to Villa Youville. Unfortunately health prevents me from attending Ray's funeral but my thoughts and prayers will be for him, you and family. God Bless. Gerry McDonald. - Posted by: Gerry McDonald (Friend) on: Feb 04, 2017

Through Raymond's daughter, Lorraine Tallaire, I have known the Desautels family for over 25 years. The children and grandchildren share Mr. and Mrs. Desautels' gentleness, warm welcoming smiles and generous natures. Their gifts of friendship and kindness will stay with me forever. My sympathies and condolences to family and friends. - Posted by: Marianne Wishnowski (Friend of the family) on: Feb 01, 2017
