In loving memory ~
In loving memory of Ray Alexander Ostrom who passed away peacefully in Prince Rupert. Born in Bella Bella, Ray was the son of Knut and Maja, and brother to Marry (Ivar Johansen), Dolly (Bob Anderson), Lennard (Myrtle), Norman (Margret) and Iver. In the 1950s, the family moved to Prince Rupert, where Ray built a life in the trolling industry.
In 1977, Ray found love with Bonnie, and welcomed her 4 children—Kelly, Diana, Christine, and Paul into his heart. He was known as Papa to his grandchildren Amanda, Candace, Curtis, Russell, Jeremy and Sydney, and 5 great granddaughters. Ray and Bonnie lived in Prince Rupert, Hunts Inlet and Granisle, and returned to Prince Rupert for retirement. He was predeceased by Bonnie in 2015.
Known for his quiet, calm demeanor and kind heart, Ray had a remarkable sense of humor and an infectious Ostrom laugh. His spirit lives on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know him.
His family is immensely grateful for the staff at Acropolis Manor for providing him with care and affection for the past 3 ½ years.
