Margo and family
Dave and I are thinking of you all at this difficult time. Raymond was indeed a fun, kind guy. We always felt so welcomed at your New Years Eve shuffleboard tournaments and had so much fun with your family. Dave chuckles often about the time Rick was defeated and the glint in Raymond's eye when Dave accomplished the rare event!
The comments by so many here about Raymond are a tribute to the special person he was.
Take care of yourselves in the days ahead.

So sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Ray many times over the years. I recall in my junior years as an engineer with the Department of Transportation, Ray was always compassionate, personable. I would describe Ray as and a true gentleman.

I remember first remember meeting Raymond when he interviewed me for a job at Basin Contracting he came across as a very kind caring man and always seemed to look out for the well being of others I didn't know Raymond very well but I'm thankful for him giving me an opportunity to make a living for myself and will miss seeing him around.

Sending deepest condolences to the Benere and Coupar families. My parents were good friends with both families and as a result of living in a small village the kids knew each other. I remember Raymond in high school being a kind, always smiling, good natured guy. May the love of your family and friends and the wonderful memories you have made help you through this sad time.

Ray literally, was a "ray of sunshine", anytime you would see him. I have worked with Ray over many years, whenever Basin was working for the province. When I was working out of our Elmsdale office, I always looked forward to Ray's visits. He would come in smiling and chat with you, ask how you, and your family were doing. He genuinely cared in what you had to say. He always greeted me with a smile. My heart goes out to his family, friends, and the staff at Basin. He was an incredible, kind, caring man, who was always a "Ray", "of sunshine". I will truly miss him, my thoughts are with you all at this very sad time. Heaven has gained a true angel, of this, I am certain.

It is heartbreaking to lose a sibling and our hearts go out to all of you. Having gone to school with a number of the "Brady Bunch" or rather "Benere bunch" it knocks a little chink of our armor from ourselves when we lose one of our era. Thank God you have a large family to immerse yourselves in your grief. Special love to momma Florence. Rest in peace Ray.

Condolences to Margo and family,
I am so sorry and saddened to hear of Raymond's passing. I remember some fun times at the cottage and sharing birthday celebrations at the cottage as, if I remember correctly, his birthday was a couple of days before mine. There are those memories that are special and are never forgotten. Raymond was very much an important part of Marshville cottage country. He took great pride in renovating his farm house and making it a cottage home for family gatherings. He was highly respected and loved by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family members. Cherish your memories and may Raymond rest in peace.
God Bless you all.

To Margo and family, and the Benere family,
I seem to be at a loss for words. There are so many things I’d like to say but nothing seems to fit just right to tell you how sorry I am to hear of Raymond’s passing. The way you described him here is just exactly the Raymond I got to know. He and Cecil were such great friends and were so much alike (maybe not all good and probably not room to tell all their stories but likely Murray will continue their legacy). After Cecil’s passing, Raymond continued to keep in touch and I was always so pleased to hear from him.
But, I just want to extend my sympathy to all his family and friends. Please take care!

I remember so many happy family Benere get togethers, the laughing, good natured jokes and teasing especially about hockey and that everyone was always having so much fun! The epic scrambling to be the first in line at the potlucks, the warmest family hugs even if they didn’t know you. My sympathies to all of you, he will definitely be missed but never forgotten!
I hope you all find peace in the memories of what a kind and loving man he was.
Much love,

I am sure glad I had the opportunity to work with Raymond over the past 4 years. He was always so kind to stop at my desk every day with a cup of coffee in his hand and ask me how I was doing and before he would leave, he would tell me to enjoy the rest of my day. He was always smiling and so humble.
Rest in Peace Raymond <3 I'll miss hearing you say "Heyyyyy!" to Fred and Ted when you came into the office <3
Many many hugs to the Benere family xoxoxo

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Raymond was a special man as you all know. To me he was a boss, a mentor and most important a true friend. He was a huge part of my work family. He will be forever missed but never forgotten. He always had a smile on his face. Even during our disagreements at work, which never lasted long. How could you stay mad at such a smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I had the pleasure of engaging the services of Basin Contracting - and Raymond in particular - for many years back in the period from approximately 1990 to 2010. My employer, Edmonds Landscape Services, had a periodic need for there to be asphalt work done at our clients properties, and this gave me the opportunity to get together with Raymond on many occasions over the years. He was always in good humour, anxious to do what was needed, and would follow up to make sure the work was done satisfactorily - which it always was.
Raymond was a guy you could depend on, big job or small. I have not seen him for a few years but have no doubt he has not changed a bit - his photo is indeed a good likeness of him as I remember him over the years.
I offer my most sincere sympathy to the entire Benere family - in particular David, Fred and Florence who are also fine people just like Raymond was.
Sorry Raymond —-Go Habs Go !!
