Raymond Malcolm Herbert Smith

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ray Smith on August 11, 2022 in Guelph at the age of 83 at St. Joseph's Health Centre. Beloved partner to Shirl Frazier, loving father of Sue (Henry Pieczewski) of Rockwood, Ray (Shana) of California, Lisa (Dan McMullen) of Woodstock. Much loved grandfather to Nikki (Jamie MacDonald), Mya, Kaelin (Jace Wolfe), Taralynn (Izzy Morales), Kylie, Daneen, Morgan, Kadanna, Jordan, Braedan, proud great grandfather to Blakely. Loved by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, his 10 siblings and his grand daughter Karissa (1999).

Ray will forever be remembered for his love of music, kind heart, witty sense of humor and love of family. He had so many one liners and stories that he loved to tell including 'Ray Smith' night at Tootsies in Nashville. His favourite past time was traveling to different jam sessions, playing music with his friends and family and performing with his band at events.

As you would say, we will catch you on the Flip Side. Love all your #1 Fans.
