they enjoyed 45 years together. Ray was transferred to the Ontario
Hydro Warren Office where he retired as Supervisor. Ray loved to
reminisce about his sports life, from coaching women’s baseball as a
teenager to his love of hockey and baseball minor associations. Many
local hockey players benefited from his tough but fair coaching. An
accomplished athlete in his younger days he maintained a life long love
of sports, including actively coaching many Montreal Canadian hockey

especially for his children and grandchildren.
