Raymond Bold
May 27, 1920 ~ March 5, 2013
Raymond was born and raised on the family farm in the Marcelin area. He attended Crown Hill Public School for eight years and then he was needed to help on the family farm. He served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 4 years and was discharged in March of 1946. For the rest of that year he worked out for different farmers and then started farming on the family farm. He also rented other land and eventually bought a neighboring quarter of land. He farmed until 1980 and then retired from farming and rented out the land. He remained on the farm until 2001. He sold the land and his house and moved into the Town of Blaine Lake and took up residence at the Seniors Lodge. Raymond enjoyed playing horseshoes in tournaments, Kaiser, Crib and Solitaire. He also spent many hours watching sports on TV. Of course he was an avid Rider fan and he won a couple nice prizes from their lottery. Raymond also was a giving man and made donations to many organizations. He enjoyed traveling before his move into town. Some of his travels took him to Florida, Barbados, Hawaii, Mexico and Arizona. He also traveled with his nephew Brian Porter to Europe to explore his family history in 1990 and 1991.
