Raymond Anthony Haye was born on March 26, 1957 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. On December 18, 1966, Raymond, his sister and parents immigrated to Toronto, Canada.
Raymond's self proclaimed goals in life, was one of dispelling the stigma attached to those who have gone through mental health challenges. He also made it his life's ambition to raise awareness about Progress Place. He did this through fund raising, securing donations, through his public speaking at events locally and internationally, and his personal support of those in need. By any stretch of the imagination, he deserves an "A+" for accomplishing those goals. Raymond had a positive passion for life, and his energy and enthusiasm were contagious, always willing to help in whatever way he could. Raymond will be missed by all who knew and loved him. His smile will continue to smile down on us from Heaven.
