October 8, 1934 – October 1, 2018
With his family by his side, the family announces with great sadness, the passing of Raymond on Monday, October 1, a week before his 84th birthday.
He is survived by his loving wife Arlette of almost 62 years of marriage; daughters Janet (Richard) and Lori; grandchildren Kyle, Dillon and Jessica; and sister Dorothy. He was predeceased by his son-in-law Gil in 2014.
Raymond was born in Pigeon Lake and raised his own family there. He worked for the Winnipeg Tribune until he owned his own bulk fuel business for Shell Canada in his area until retiring. He loved his family and grandchildren immensely and the many travels he and his wife embarked upon during retirement years. Arizona was his favorite where lifelong friends were made.
At his request, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service.
Heartfelt thanks to Seven Oaks General Hospital 4th floor Unit 5 Staff and Management for their care and support during his time there. Also Dr. David Breckman, Dr. P. Czaykowski and Denise for being his health care providers over the years.
Flowers gratefully declined, in lieu of, donations may be made to Cancer Care Manitoba.
