    We are so sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. Lloyd and Ray spent a lot of time over coffee first at Donuts and More and then at Tim Hortons whether it be Goderich, Clinton or Seaforth. We had not got for a visit this year since getting back from Florida with the covid threats but had thought of him often. Ray was a very good guy and will be missed by many. Our sincere sympathy to his family. Lloyd & Pat Francis.

    I’m so saddened of hearing of Rays passing. He was my very good friend since 1970. We worked together at Dominion Roads ( Volvo ) and we were close friends since then. I will miss my friend Ray.
