June 2, 2018

Passed away after a short battle with Cancer on June 2, 2018 at 74 years of age. Loving husband of the late Stella (2018). Dear son of Jenny Bondy. Beloved step-father of Wendy (Bruce) Renaud, Julie (Michael) Vansnick, Kathy, David, Diana (Terry) and Gene. Treasured grandpa of his princess Jamie Renaud; Tyler Renaud, Michael and Jason Vansnick. Brother of Martin (Marlene) Ryan. Uncle of Michael (Sylvie) Ryan, Michelle (William) Placido, Martina (Keith) Snedden and Mindy (Richard) Amos. Ray was a very proud Irish man. He took full pride in his Irish heritage. This was clearly visible in Cozy Corners he owned with his wife for years. Ray was always a part of his community, whether through sponsoring a team, supporting friends and helping wherever he could. Ray was an avid race car fan, spending many weekends in Delaware watching the races. He was a social butterfly, he would talk to anyone, anywhere about anything. Ray always had a joke and a smile for everyone. Cremation has taken place and a private family service will take place later. Donations may be made to the Essex Area Foodbank. Arrangements under the care of the Kennedy Funeral Home Ltd. (519-776-7378) 128 Talbot St. N, Essex. You may send your condolences online at www.kennedyfh.com
