Hey Ray! , Ray Bailey was the inspiration for our Hey Ray! , Ray Bailey was the inspiration for our song, “Hey Ray” He will be missed. November 14, 1950 – August 18, 2020 Here was the obituary from @guelphtoday November 14, 1950 – August 18, 2020 It is with deep sadness that his family shares the sudden passing of Raymond Norman as the result of a traffic accident in Guelph on Tuesday, August 18th, 2020. Ray was born in Guelph, Ontario to parents Norman and Elda Bailey on November 14, 1950. As a toddler, his life was permanently changed when he suffered a serious brain injury due to a fall down the stairs at home. Through the excellent care at Sick Kids, the therapy he received at the Rotary Children’s centre and the unwavering support of his family, Ray adapted and met the many challenges that life would bring. With his distinctive gait, he was a familiar sight around Guelph – a city that he knew inside out and loved deeply. After graduating from Guelph Collegiate, Ray worked at a variety of jobs. A door to door sales position with Fuller Brush gained him a loyal customer base for many years and a love of walking. In later years, he delivered the Guelph Tribune and flyers across the city, pulling his cart with one hand and stopping in at any Tim Hortons for a coffee and a chat with anyone there as he took a break. He made deep and lasting friendships through his long affiliation with AA and through his bowling league. He remembered everyone and was always so excited to share the news about whom he had last seen and chatted with. His annual corn roast and barbeque while he lived on Speedvale Ave. celebrated these friendships and he was happy to welcome all comers and helpers every August. Ray loved to be able to help out and gave back to his community through his volunteer work in the kitchen and dining room at the Evergreen Centre. His friendly lopsided smile, easy laugh and an offer to sit down for a coffee together will be ever so missed. Friends, family, coffee, food piled high on his plate, dessert, country music, cards, crossword puzzles and watching sports (especially the Guelph Storm) were the biggest pleasures in his life....
