I am sorry to hear about Raymond's passing at such a young age. I remember always looking forward to seeing Raymond at Eric's Cove beach in West Arichat. He was one of the few people from the older "cool group" who would treat me pretty well in spite that I was 5 years younger than him. I always respected him for doing that. I always wondered what Raymond went on to do once he left Cape Breton. Glad to see he had an excellent life and family. My condolensces Chris Babin (now in Albany New York)

Lorrie, I was very saddened yesterday to hear that Ray had passed away in August. I travelled in the mail run van to and from Aldershot for a few years with Ray and the other guys from Greenwood and area and he was so very nice and always talked of you and the girls with a smile on his face. I'm heartbroken to think of what you and your family are going through. Please know that his coworkers from Aldershot are feeling a great loss and have very fond memories of Ray. With my deepest sympathy, Cathy Micallef (former Administrative Assistant, LFAATC Aldershot)

Words can never express my heartfelt sorrow for the three of you during this time. Loranda
