    It is with regret that we learn this sad news. In these difficult times, it is impossible for us to be with you to share this pain. I am hopeful that in the near future we can come together and share some good memories about Raymond.

    Let us not forget that today we are sad but that tomorrow we will remember the gestures, the words, the laughter and the smiles that Raymond left us.

    Our deepest condolences Jocelyne, Joanne, Marc and Nancy, Thérèse and all the loved ones he has known.

    To Jocelyn and Joanne and to Ray’s family and friends, let me say how sad we are here at the Haverhill Hound Rod and Gun Club to learn of Ray’s passing. He was a longtime, and very well regarded member of our organization, and will be missed.
    On a more personal note, I played hockey with Ray for years at Brooks, and shot with him in pistol leagues right up to this past winter. I was always impressed with the stoic nature with which he fought this thing, and so proud to see him on the ice again after winning that first battle. May I extend my sympathies to all who loved him. Bless his memory.

    My sympathies to the family. Ray was a regular part of the group that hung out years ago at Maria’s. He was a great guy and will be missed.
