I really enjoyed serving with Ray at the Chilliwack United Church in the choir and also on a committee. He was a truly nice and caring man. I remember him as always smiling and pleasant. My deepest condolences.
Diane, Gord, Dave and Don. I am thinking of you today as you say goodbye to your Dad. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Please give each other hugs from me. Wish I could be there with you, Alison
My deepest condolences for the passing of your father. I really enjoyed the short time I spent talking with him at Fleetwood Place when I visited my dad. Since we were both from Kitimat, and he had worked at Alcan, we shared stories. It has been a short while since I lost my dad, and I can only say that it is hard, but you just have to think of all the good times you shared with your dad. He will be missed but never forgotten.
To the family. Fred and I wish to send our prayers and thought as to you all. We remember Ray with fond memories of our times in the United church in Kitimat. We also enjoyed our times with your parents at our Kitimat luncheons here in the lower mainland. We are thinking of you all and send our love you all. Love from us both Fred and Bev Rodrigo.
