Raymond Archibald Woods passed away peacefully on December 29, 2001 surrounded by his loving family and friends. Predeceased by his wife Helen, his parents James and Agnes, his brother James. Raymond is survived by his son Rick (Sandra); daughters: Karen, Kelly (Mark), and Debbie; granddaughters: Judy (Matt), Sherrie (Brian); and great grandson Joshua. Also survived by his brothers: Vic and Byron, and his sister Alice and their families.

Ray enjoyed the finer things in life. Fishing trips with his family and friends, family dinners and morning coffee with his friends. He was a true dad treasuring time with his family and taking pride in their accomplishments.

We鈥檒l miss our father鈥檚 flavourful sense of humour, his advice and his infamous one-liners.

As Woodsy would say,

鈥淲e鈥檙e shuttin err down鈥�
