Ray was predeceased by his parents Arthur and Edna Pearse. He was a loving, caring father and friend. His greatest passions were restoring antique cars, trucks and tractors. Ray was a founding member of the Prairie Tractor and Engine Club. He enjoyed attending and participating in tractor shows. For many years he spoke of trying to go south to attend one of the largest tractor shows around. A few years ago he was able to make that dream a reality. It was something he was very excited about and spoke of it fairly often.
