  66. Kim Lees

    Raymond will never be forgotten by my family. He was my grandfather and he was “grampy Raymond” to my kids (who adored him). My Nan loved him and I have no doubt that if there is an afterlife, he is with his soul mate, in a canoe, on Keji lake fishing and laughing.
    He will be missed certainly, but he made our lives better, happier, and certainly lovelier. His smile was contagious and his laugh was absolutely amazing! He never failed to call me “kimmy” and when I would call the house looking to talk to Nan he would always say “well there’s someone here with a big nose that looks like her”. Made me laugh every time.
    I will miss him very much, but so happy he is now at peace.

  68. Elizabeth Boland
