My condolences to the Castator family. Even with a firm hope of the future death is still accurately described as an enemy in the Bible at 1 Corinthians15:26. So we can’t help but feel the void when we lose someone we love. And the Bible also holds out out a hope that many of our dead loved ones will be brought back to life. I hope this bring you and your family some comfort.

My memories of Ray make me smile…like sunshine. His humour and kind nature were a gift to my family when he helped to take care of my parents before they passed away.
He lived life to the fullest. Heaven will be a happier place this Christmas. My parents will be happy to see him. All our love to Ven and the family. Love Paul, Joanne, Abby, and Mallory.

Dear Mrs. Castator and family:
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Castator always had a warm, ready smile and a one of a kind sense of humour that will be missed. He has always been dear to my heart in the many capacities that we have worked together over the years – his kindness for everyone in the community was inspiring.
I pray that the peace of God’s Holy Spirit will bring you comfort during this sad time.

Dear Ven, Cathy, Garry and Norman,
You have all been through such a difficult time this past fall. Life changes in a moment.
Ray’s good humor and love of fun will be long remembered. I enjoy telling my sons about the tenth line Halloween pranks of past. Ray left us all with good memories.
May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Blessings, Hilary

To Garry, Norm and Cathy, and for Ven who used to make me lunch when I was playing with Garry in the barn, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Ray was a great man, always full of fun, and always with a twinkle in his eye. Sad to hear he is gone, we will miss him indeed. I hope he is having some fun up there with the other great guys from the 10th concession Ross Taylor and my dad Glenn!

I just heard of Ray’s passing, and I am so sorry for your loss. He was quite a character, and well liked by so many. He always had a kind word, and a big smile.

Mrs Castator and family
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr Castator. My heart and prayers go out to all of you at this time. He was a very special man to me personally and to the whole community. He always had a smile on his face and a funny story to share. Laughter was always something that I enjoyed most with him. We used to meet yearly for The Nobleton Christmas Drive and enjoy a coffee and some sweet treats. I will truly miss those times we shared together. Since I lost my mobility a few years ago he was always supportive in helping where he could and helping me get a scooter from the Lions Club so I could get around more freely. Heart of gold really. You are in my thoughts and prayers and he will be so dearly missed, I pray your memories keep you smiling God Bless Mary Buchanan ( Minialoff)
