    I remember the great times cousin Ray and I shared as kids. Sleepovers at his parents(uncle Harold & aunt Emma) at the north end of Exeter, Dundas and later downtown Exeter . Swimming/fishing at the park in Exeter. Road trips with Ray & his parents to visit Bill & Audrey. I remember my first bicycle which Ray’s parents kindly gave to me.
    All the Beaver’s including Ray’s parents and sisters and their spouses always made me feel like I was part of their Family.
    Hoping that remembering the great times helps to lessen the pain of your loss.

    I will be forever grateful to Ray for giving me the gift of a career in Mississauga in 1974. He was a mentor, and friend, who pushed me to a level in business that has carried me through the years.

    I cannot help but think of the greatest gift, though…the gift of God’ Son. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3: 16-17

    Surely our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family at this difficult time.
