Ray was the salt of the earth and I always enjoyed his company. I loved golfing with him even when he was being hard on his equipment. I went to school with Rae so have known him a long time and always will remember him as a kind and caring person. My deepest condolences to you Dawn and all Rae’s children.

My brother Rae. I miss you. I miss your unfiltered assessment of everyone and everything. You were enigmatic, generous, engaging, unfettered, perceptive, and principled. You made me think. I asked you to be my Best Man and you made me feel like I was doing you a favour. I can only try to be the husband, father, and friend that you were. And, your secret is safe: I won’t tell the dogs that you really did love them. You drove from Oliver and I from Grand Forks to meet in Rock Creek for a coffee and a smoke – and then you took this picture. Here’s looking at you.

Rae always made me laugh. He had a marvellous sense of humour and dry wit. I have known him since we were both in grade one and was always delighted to have an opportunity to chat with him. He was a kind and caring soul. May his family be comforted knowing he was such a remarkable person who brought joy to many.
