Ray McGill of Orillia Ontario, peacefully passed away at the age of 56, surrounded by the love of his family and friends. Ray fought a 17 month battle with renal cell carcinoma, always telling people he was “awesome” when asked how he was doing. Most will remember Ray for his kindness and generosity. He had a quick wit and a loving soul. All of our lives are so much more because of his gentle presence. He had an abundant love for the Toronto Maple Leafs and a childhood fascination with Star Wars. His love for music was evident daily. He met the love of his life Carol and had many years in which they had the opportunity to travel the world together and they shared their lives with so many. Ray was always willing to help anyone and always up for the next adventure. He loved his circle of friends and would always ask who was coming to visit. Prior to Ray's illness he became the Director of Education with the Canadian Fire Alarm Association, which was an achievement he was extremely proud of.
