My condolences to the Corsaut family You have lost a patriarch. May memories and accomplishments help, as you grieve his passing
I’ve known Ray since grade one at Birr Public School, and subsequently his brother and sister. Over the years I have met Ray, usually on or near a John Deere. It was always great to have a visit.
RIP Ray
