He started working at Doane’s at age 17 working in various offices in the province later setting up his own accounting firm in Windsor in 1977. He retired in October 2021 but continued to do some work out of his home until his death. Raymond was a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor, the Windsor Gyros which later became the Windsor Social Club, holding numerous offices in these organizations.

Summers were a special time spent at the cottage with family and friends. He was an avid golfer and especially enjoyed games with his grandchildren in later years. Raymond enjoyed traveling with his wife and friends to many places around the world. His favourite travels were to various sporting events that his children and grandchildren were involved in.
