RAYMOND M. PERREAULT

1955-2009

“You have to fly with the eagles to soar with the eagles. If you fly with the crows you will sit with the crows”

This was one our father’s favourite sayings.  Ray Perreault was an eagle through and through. He learned very early on that hard work and determination are the only ways to get ahead in life. Both he and our mother worked valiantly to instill  this belief in all three of their children. Our father was an extraordinary man and teacher as well as a respected musician who touched the hearts of many. Dad was also  a passionate Harley rider  and led us on many great adventures. He ended his journey, all too quickly, in November of 2009.  His legacy will live on forever in the hearts of his wife and best friend; his children; much loved grandchildren; his students and colleagues as well as all who were lucky enough to have known him.  As an avid visitor of the North Bay Waterfront, Dad would  have been honoured to know that a part of it, even a part as small as a leaf hung on a pergola, has been named just for him.

Forever in our hearts; Suzanne, Lynn, Luc and Marc
