Raymond was a very hard worker and provided well for his family and taught us good values growing up. He worked at various mines in the Kirkland Lake (Upper Canada and Upper Beaver) and in Holtyre (Ross Mine). Raymond was a Foreman at Kokotow Lumber for a few years. The family grew up in Holtyre, where Raymond worked at the Ross Mine. He later moved the family to Kirkland Lake and travelled to Holtyre daily for work. He was on the Mine Rescue Team at the mines and later in his career he became a Health and Safety/Training Supervisor for the Ross Mine, until his retirement.
Raymond enjoyed the great outdoors, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and camping, He was a member of Encore Club, 50+ Club and enjoyed bowling and travelling with the group. He was a member of the Assumption Church. After retirement, Raymond was passionate about his hobbies. He loved working on puzzles, doing paint-by-number paintings, reading, sudoku, any pastime was fun for him. He donated many of his paintings to TPR bazaars.
We were all very fortunate to have you in our lives for all these years and Dad, you will be in our hearts forever.
The family would like to thank and extend their appreciation to the doctor, nurses and staff at Teck Pioneer Residence, for their compassion and loving care for our father prior and during his illness.
