Sorry to hear of Ray's passing. We attended the Infantry 6B in Gagetown (same section) and SLC in Borden at the same time in the early 80's. Ray was a "character" and a great guy and I still vividly remember passing his syndicate room on the SLC while he was giving a presentation, and hearing him tell one of the other candidates that he would "rip his throat out if he didn't shut up"!

Rest in peace Ray and condolences to his family.
