May 31, 2020 at 10:49 pmTo 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.
