Raymond was born and raised in China before immigrating to Vancouver, Canada as a young adult. Raymond had different jobs throughout his working career. He eventually retired in 1997 from Grange Mattress Company and spent much of his golden years enjoying the company of family and friends. He had a wonderful gift for storytelling and shared his many stories of the good as well as the tough times that he lived through. He truly was a wonderful and remarkable man. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, brother, and friend. He is survived by Helen Sau Bik, his wife of 64 years, and their children Susan (Stanley), Vivian, Kathleen (Jack), Ivan (Susanna), their grandchildren Jennifer (Irnes), Tony, Jaclyn, Bryanne, Eric, Bryce, Ryan, Daniel, Kailey, Samantha, Madeleine, Cameron, and their great-grandson Liam. Raymond will be greatly missed.
