He held a number of jobs including farming, janitorial work, and general labour. Raymond enjoyed playing cards and visiting with family and friends. He especially enjoyed his time with his 13 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. No matter where Raymond was or who he was with he always had the biggest smile on his face. His laugh was so contagious that you couldn't help but smile. Anyone that came for a visit was welcomed through the door and offered either a coffee or a good shot of whiskey. By the time the grandchildren were of talking age, they knew at least one word in French. It may not have been a nice word but at least it was a word. He will forever be known as our ol' Cougar.
