Our heartfelt condolences to Irene and family for the loss of Ray, may he rest in peace and may you be comforted by the love and care of family and good friends.  Ray will be missed by all who knew him.  God Bless him.  And, from the khalaf family, we will remember you and the many memories together.

My sincerest condolences to Irene, James, Christopher and their beloved grand-daughters Kenzie and Brooklyn. Ray was a lovely, interesting and dedicated member of our family.  I'll always appreciate that he shared his research about our family tree and history with my parents and I. I'll also always be deeply thankful for the care he and Irene showed to my father, Bart and my mother, Brenda, over their lifetimes and especially in their last years. All my love, on behalf of the Norris Family.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Irene and family on the unexpected passing of Ray.  As a fellow colleague at Coca-Cola we experienced first hand Ray’s demeanour, a well respected gentleman, quiet, calm, extremely kind and very  helpful to many of us who worked with him, always had time and patience to deal with any situation he was confronted with.  In recent years Ray connected with the Coke Alumni and quickly volunteered to assist with Alumni business and became a welcome addition appreciated by all.  Ray not only cared about people, he  genuinely valued their friendship, offering his services, interacting willingly, expecting nothing in return.  
Hopefully during this difficult time you, your family & friends will find strength and comfort in the many wonderful memories that were shared over the years.  We have lost a true gem and many of his Coke buddies will truly miss his presence and friendship.  We all thank you for allowing us to share his life and legacy, Unfortunately we are out of town and are unable to celebrate Ray’s life with you, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.     “REST  IN  PEACE  RAY”

I'll miss you Uncle Ray, and thank you for being a great Uncle.. As far back as I can remember you were always there for us. Family events, graduations, dinners. I don't remember you missing a single event. 
It took me a long time to understand your humour, but as I got older I would recognize that little smirk and twinkle in your eye, and realize you were just having a bit of fun. 
My condolences to everyone in our family and to all of your friends. 
You will be truly missed.

Remembering Our Dear Friend and Colleague, Ray Davis.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of our dear friend and former colleague, Ray Davis.

Ray was not only a wonderful gentleman and a valued colleague during our many years together at the company, but he continued to be a caring and generous friend to all of us after retirement.

He was always ready to help, never seeking recognition or expecting anything in return.

Those simple acts of kindness say a great deal about the kind of person Ray was. He cared about people and valued friendships.

We have lost a very good colleague and a wonderful gentleman. 

Ray will be deeply missed, but the kindness he showed to so many of us will always be remembered.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Ray’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. May they find strength and comfort in the many wonderful memories they have of him.

Rest in peace, Ray. You will be missed, remembered, and never forgotten.

OM SHANTI.

S.K. Desai.

On behalf of the Balchand Family I would like to express our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Davies family, Irene, James (Andrea), Christopher (Kerri-Ann), granddaughters Kenzie & Brooklin.
Ray was my friend, thoughtful, kind, compassionate, caring and generous. Most of all he was special. Why special - because it takes a lifetime to forget someone so special. If I learned one thing from Ray is giving without asking for anything in return. 
We shared many wonderful memories that will last with me forever, over his favorite drink of Rum & Coke. When he was hospitalized, I teased him about getting out of that place so we could have a drink. On his return he said we can have that drink now. I told him it was not a good idea because of all the drugs he was taking, and we should wait until he is better. I am sad that he never recovered and we did not have that drink.  He was a model citizen for Legacy  Community and forced the City of Markham to address all issues related to the community.
An author once said – when we are born the world rejoices while you cry, live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries while you rejoice.  Look at Ray’s life, a beautiful wife and family, wonderful children and daughters-in-law and two wonderful grandchildren. The granddaughters were the joy of his life. Ray lived that life and is in heaven rejoicing while we cry.
He had an infectious smile and a rich heart and without a rich heart life is like a beggar. May the Lord bless his soul and guide him on his next journey. You will be dearly missed my friend
 Rest in Peace.

Our condolences to Irene and her family and to Raymond’s siblings Norma Jean and Linda. Raymond will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Raymond had a fascination with genealogy and gave our families such an insight into our heritage which we are truly thankful for.

Ray on his 65th birthday.   Rain or shine, he always wore a tie!!

My condolences to Irene and family.  Ray was a great work colleague of mine for almost 18 years and was always a pleasure to deal with.   Ray was a master of his craft and was very passionate and serious about his career and all things Customs!!  A great Mentor for all staff and always took the time to interact with people at a personal level.  Ray will be missed.

I'll be the thinking about you and your family over the next couple of days and beyond. With the love and support surrounding you at this time this  hopefully will provide you with some comfort and strength to carry forward. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family ....

My deepest sympathies to Irene and the family. I knew Ray well as we worked together at Coca-Cola for many years. He was very friendly, reliable and always a kind and caring person. He was respected for his expertise and professionalism. I enjoyed his recollections of serving in the RCN, stories of weekends with his family. I depended on him to get my work done well. I always looked forward to seeing Ray at the  Alumni luncheons and enjoyed our times together. 
Be at peace dear Ray, you truly made a difference.

Ray was a true gentleman who always made me smile. He was a longtime volunteer for Markham Stouffville Hospital who was always generous with his time and enthusiasm. We will all miss him.
My sincere condolences to Irene and the family who have been there for every step of Ray's illness. May he now rest in peace.

I will miss Ray and all his dedication & efforts he contributed to the success of the Coca-Cola Canada Alumni over these past few years.  He was a wonderful person to work with back in his days at the head office Coca-Cola and very well respected so it was nice to reconnect in retirement.  He had a great sense of humor and a man of detail who was always concerned about others.  He will be dearly missed.

Ray was an integral part of Coca-Cola Ltd's. Purchasing Department, and a reliable colleague to everyone who needed his transportation and traffic  expertise to get items from Point A to Point B, often "yesterday". His even-keeled, matter-of-fact demeanour made him a pleasure to work with. Ray's much appreciated involvement in the organization of recent annual luncheons for fellow Coca-Cola Retirees was essential and carried out with pleasure. Ray had been in the midst of preparing for our 2026 gathering when his health took a turn for the worse.  He will be missed. Ray's many Coca-Cola friends extend condolences to Ray's family.

What a wonderful friend. A true gentleman! 
We did have some great times together and some fantastic vacations to destinations near and far. 
You will be missed. You were loved.
Brian and Carol.

Irene, thinking of you during this difficult time.  My heart goes out to you and your family. 
With much love!

We are very sorry to have lost a good friend, Ray has been a wonderful man . We shared   trips and  spent many good times together. Good Bye Friend  you have gone , but you live in our hearts forever.
Phyllis and Karl  Kovacs

Our sincere condolences to Irene, James, Christopher and extended family during this sad time.  We have many happy memories of being neighbours in Whitby.  So difficult to say goodbye to a loving family member.  Our thoughts are with you.  Dianne and Hank Majewski
