Passed away peacefully at LHSC – University Hospital on Friday, July 10, 2020 of London, in his 74th year. Beloved husband and best friend of Marjorie (Turner) McLean for 50 years (July 11, 1970). Proud dad of Dan and Nicole, Brent, and Scott and Miriam. Cherished grampie of Kyla, Hailey, Brianne, Emilia, and Lucas.

Condolences to you and the boys, Northridge will just not seem the same. Ray could talk cars with the best of em, and he had for sale one of the finest 84′ RX-7’s around. Things I’ll never forget are his kind offer to sell Granddad’s Car on consignment for a good solid $500, he even leased it out for awhile and in the end offered a check for just $200. Never did take that check, but with memories like the Santa Claus in July, midnight streetlight tear downs (watch those corners with the flat bed truck Ray! err smash!) and his unforgettable grin, I guess that $500 could be written off, if not for the laughs alone. Life’s short, but ohhh the memories.
Lorraine Devereaux
Marg and family,

Marj, it was always a pleasure to drive past whether we were coming or going and could always count on a wave from Ray. We knew if the 2 of you weren’t on the porch on a sunny day you were likely in the backyard with kids and grandkids. Tweed Crescent will miss him – take care. So glad you have such a strong support system.
