Raymond Alexander Dunn
1937 - 2015
Peacefully humming a tune on Monday, August 31, 2015, Raymond Dunn passed away at the age of 78 at the Portage District General Hospital.
Ray leaves behind his loving wife of 31 years, Janice Dunn, his children Marie Dekleer (Harry), Jennifer Dunn (Dan), Fenton Dunn and his first wife Anne Sinclair (Danny). In Winnipeg he leaves behind grand-children Stephanie, Terence and John Raymond, great-grandchildren Hope, Arianna, Kiara and Austin as well as step-children Kelly, Sandy, Cindy and Gary and grand-children with his wife Janice. Dad also leaves his sisters Diana Dunn Winnipeg, MB, Linda Robinson Chase, BC, niece Dalin, nephew Alex and their families in Peace River, BC to remember better times.
Raymond was born August 16, 1937 at the homestead farm near Birtle, MB and is predeceased by his mom, Hilda and dad, Alex who rest interred at Birtle cemetery. Dad grew up on the farm and his children remember travelling to Birtle most summers and every holiday to visit family and friends. Later Dad and Janice lived in Solgirth, MB and enjoyed living in the country-side operating the local credit union, post-office and general store until their move to Portage la Prairie where dad could be seen riding his tri-cycle and later his motorized scooter. Besides his wife, Dad loved to travel, loved his independence and loved to laugh. May we meet Dad again in Glory with our Lord Jesus Christ.
