March 2, 1943 - September 3, 2024

Ray, the man who could sell you a car with one hand while playing the organ with the other, has left the showroom of life for that great campground in the sky.

He was a passionate musician who loved his career at Soo Piano. Some may even remember him years ago playing the organ at the Greyhound Hockey games at the old Memorial Gardens. He then went on to sell vehicles at Boston Motors. He had a smile so genuine it could put a warranty on your heart. His trailer park camping adventures were as epic as his sales pitches, with every campfire tale more hilarious than the last.

Ray's legacy is not just in the cars he sold or the music he played, but in the joy he brought to every life he touched. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered.

Father of Danielle Punch (Kevin) and Nicole Boivin.

Grandfather of Candace Punch (Dave), Cameron Punch (Jenn), Jolin Boivin and Brianna Boivin. Great grandfather of Tyson, Jase, Lily, Nashton, Kinsley and Paisley.
