Sorry to hear this.

I was at the Canadian Mixed in 1985 when he did his first TSN broadcasts with Don Chevrier.

He was the best!

RIP

Was tough to hear about Ray's passing over the weekend

I grew up listening to him call games with Linda and Vic. He's one of the reasons why I'm so into the sport, his commentary was always informative and fun at the same time.

He was a great curler, builder, broadcaster and a great man above all. He'll be missed.
