Born in Parry Sound, Ontario on May 20, 1954 to the late Mordick and Beatrice (nee Pawis) Chegahno. Ray was a talented Bricklayer and enjoyed family friends and just living life simply.

He will be fondly remembered by his many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, especially Emily Roberts. Dear brother of Mary Stanish, Bette (Rod) Roberts and Karen Chegahno all of Parry Sound.

To honour his wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy. Arrangements entrusted to the care of Mighton Funeral Home, Hanover.
Ray and I both attended Burks Falls and District (later M.A. Wittick) Public School, and we were classmates in the 5th and 7th grades. It was a thrill to re-connect with him via Facebook and Messenger last year and recall old times and friends we had in common so long ago. He will be greatly missed by friends and family.
