Raymond Edward Desgagne

Raymond Edward Desgagne

Once, so tall, so steady.

A friend to so many.

A voice that booms as it welcomes.

Last of his era and full of lore.

Family, Finning the Yukon full of it’s gold.

Never one to grow tired,

Hours filled with laughter, cheer and

Shouts for “Just one more!”

Eventually, we children closed the crack in the door.

A proud and dedicated husband, Dad, Grandfather

And just a good man

A selfless carer of others even at the expense of himself,

The often heard “Thank you Uncle Ray”

Shall be heard no more.

But… whether looking at your “Wooden Things”,

Playing pool, golf, crib or just sharing a coffee,

His name will be softly whispered and

HIS STORY TOLD

Love, Lynn

March 18, 1943 – March 7, 2020

Sorely missed by his children and all that knew him.
