With deepest sympathy to the Smith family, so sorry to hear of Rays’s passing.

Times pass, and today we remember our old neighbours, The Smiths, from Peterkin Street. Ray was raised, as was his sister Margaret and brother Gary in a loving home with strong Christian beliefs which was a credit to his parents. As they grew into fine young adults, Ray was well liked by all and with his happy disposition was respected everywhere he went.May your memories bring you peace at this sad time. Judy, Gordon Curran.

Many happy times in the past . Sincere condolences to especially Barb and Donna plus all the Family . Rest in Peace Ray

I remember Ray and his sister Margaret as children in the 1950s/60s. Our fathers were great friends and our families often visited. Always great fun – Ray inherited his father’s wicked sense of humour and often had me in fits of laughter. I remember those days fondly. Deepest sympathy to his family.

To Barb & families please accept our most sincere condolences on Rays passing. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Everyone will miss his smile & sense of humor. Kindest regards to you all. Heather & Gidge Fabris
