3658 Raymond Albert Gray
Born in Toronto, Ontario on June 17, 1933, Ray passed away suddenly, but peacefully, on Saturday, April 10, 2010 at the age of 76.
Ray entered Canadian Services College Royal Roads in September 1952 as an RCAF pilot candidate. However, he was re-assigned to navigation during his first year at Roads and posted for first summer training to Summerside PEI. Since he did not want to be a navigator, he withdrew from that training but returned to Roads at his own expense for his second year. Advised that he could return only as an Army ROTP cadet, he withdrew from Roads.
Ray started as a trainee insurance adjuster with Zurich Insurance in Toronto, and was subsequently assigned to their London ON office. In London, he also joined the militia and received his commission with the 3 Bn RCR in 1957. Zurich Insurance transferred Ray to London England in 1961, where he paraded with RCR’s sister regiment, the City of London Fusiliers.
Ray left Zurich Insurance in 1962, travelled in Europe, and taught English at a Berlitz school in Pforzheim Germany, before travelling overland to Calcutta and continuing on to Australia. In Australia he joined Switzerland General Insurance, working as their Claims Superintendent.
Returning to Canada in 1965, Ray joined a firm of independent insurance adjusters in Kitchener-Waterloo. In 1975, he established a successful insurance adjusting partnership in Kitchener-Waterloo, which was sold to Zurich Insurance when he and his partner retired in 1995.
Affectionately known as “Big Ray”, Ray slipped from the surly bonds of this world and touched heaven the way he wanted to – quietly, without lingering, and while enjoying one of his passions in life – playing a game of bridge.
Ray is survived by his wife of 40 years Flora, their sons Glen Gibson Gray, (Laura Lynn) and Gary Edward Gray, and grandchildren Rachel Flynn Gray and Owen Jeffrey Gray.
