Ray was a talented and passionate guitar player, known for his incredible skill and love of music. He had an enduring connection to the open road, riding his Harley with pride and never missing a Friday the 13th in Port Dover. Ray's summers were often spent on the East Coast, where he cherished reconnecting with friends and family. He was a devoted fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd and lived his life with the same bold spirit that characterized his favorite band's music. Ray's laughter, stories, and guitar solos will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Rest in peace, Ray. The music and memories live on.
Arrangements entrusted to Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home, 1099 Gordon St, Guelph.
