Raymond was employed with CN for thirty–five and a half years as a welder. He loved animals, his horses, camping and being outdoors. He had a wonderful sense of humour and liked to joke,was always fixing something and would lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Raymond enjoyed music, especially old–time fiddle and country and western. He was a wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather and a devoted husband.
