I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Harder. I was in shock when I found out.

We met him at CMP. He connected me with the latest edition of our home. ( My beautiful car. ) It's a cool vehicle from a cool person. My sister usually talks about how I have the nicest car in the family. We enjoyed meeting him, and learning about cars along the way. He was funny, and had good "taste" in vehicles. In a way, I believe he will live on through the products that he sold. I already love my car, but I will have to especially treasure it even more now that he is gone. Thank-you for my sweet ride, Ray. Goodbye, Mr. Harder!

It was my very great pleasure to call Ray a friend as well as a trusted colleague at CMP. Ray had a faithful following of clients that had no interest in talking with anyone else. Ray had a way of quickly finding his way into your heart and his cheeky smile and wit always made me smile. One day I called my wife to check in. When I asked what she was doing I was informed she was baking a Rhubarb pie. When I told her I was excited to taste it she let me know that it was not for me, it was for her friend Ray.

He was a very nice man. The world is tad less happy today.

It was " 6 degrees of separation " for Ray and I: we were a few months apart in age. We grew up 100 miles apart from each other. I went to Univ of Sask while he was there. We both knew Alex Pense from Hepburn. We finally met in 1997 when I went to work for CMP. He had a quirky sense of humor and he always made me laugh when he ate an apple because he even ate the apple core.
