He contributed to many charities including Best Buddies, Casey House and numerous hospitals. Ray lived in Rosedale for over 50 years. In 2012 he donated the money to erect the "Gates of Rosedale" at the entrance to Crescent Road.
Ray was an athlete who loved football and squash. He was a world traveller who enjoyed spending his winters in Palm Beach. His dogs (including Nemo) and polar bears held a very special place in his heart. Ray loved his friends.
He entertained frequently. He was true and loyal and he kept in touch. Ray will be remembered for his generosity, his natural charm and his infectious smile and laugh. It was Ray's wish that there be no funeral.
There will be a small gathering to see Ray off at the Humphrey Funeral Home, 1403 Bayview Avenue, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Tuesday, May 22nd.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Ray's memory to your favourite charity.
