"On Tuesday December 29, 2015, I lost my Best Friend, my strength and the Love of my Life." It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden death of Raymond Peters, beloved husband of Lorraine (nee Renaud) at his home in Smiths Falls, ON. Dearly loved father/stepfather of Theresa Peters, Kimber Gault, Jonathan Peters (Trinity Rideout) and Kyle Gault (Amanda Cuddon) and his fur babies Shivers and Gruff. He will especially be missed by his forever friend Alan Elliott. Ray is survived by his mother Roberta (George) King, his brothers Jim, Roger, Bruce (Elana), Ernie, and Tom (Sue). Predeceased by his father Ernie Peters, and inlaws Joan and Phil Renaud. He will be sadly missed by his brothers-in-law Paul (Geri) Renaud, Peter (Cindy) Renaud, Maurice (Cindy) Renaud, Claude (Karen) Renaud, Raymond (Kathy) Renaud, Phillippe (Brenda) Renaud and Dan (Julie) Renaud as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Being a bus driver for Healey's Transportation for the last 13 years Ray has met many wonderful people young and old. He will be missed by the staff and many drivers from Healey's. He was also a volunteer for the Smiths Falls Junior 'A' Bears. He loved being able to drive the team to their out of town games and cheering them on. Special thank you to Mike Charlebois and Gordon Winegarden for doing everything they could til the ambulance got there. To Dale McCabe & his partner and the Kitley Elizabeth Fire Dept. for getting there as quick as they could considering road conditions, and also to the Smiths Falls Emergency staff for everything.
