Notes - CLINE, Wray Adolph - Passed away, peacefully, at Cambridge Memorial Hospital, on Monday, September 1, 2008, at the age of 88. Loving husband of Marilyn for 65 years. Devoted father of Barbara and her husband Bruce Robinson, Kathy and her husband Ron Bush, Randy and his wife Rhonda Cline, and Charlotte and her husband Tom O'Grady. Beloved grandfather of Wendy Robinson and Robert, Cassandra and Michael Cline. Wray learned to rise to the challenge early in life. His mother, Theo, passed away when he was a teenager during the Depression, leaving the running of the family farm near Belmont, Ontario to himself and his father Victor. Upon graduating as a chemist from Western in 1942, Wray and Marilyn married and moved to Nobel where he was an explosives inspector for Defence Industries during the Second World War. After the war, they moved to the Cambridge area, started a family, and Wray took a position at Canadian General Tower eventually becoming plant manager before retiring in 1983. His professional life during this time included reaching the position of chairman of the Brant County Board of Education after 19 years of service initially on township boards then county boards, extensive labour relations work, and serving industry groups including as the chairman at both the Ontario Rubber Group and Ontario Chemical Institute. Wray's priority was always as a husband and father. He further expressed this care for family and community by being involved. His volunteer work included the Glen Morris Horticultural Society, United Way, Sunday school teacher, manager and clerk of session, and elder emeritus at Glen Morris United Church. Resting at Coutts Funeral Home (519-621-1650), 96 St. Andrews Street, Cambridge, where the family will receive friends on Thursday, September 4, 2008 from 2-4 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m. The funeral service will take place at Glen Morris United Church starting at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 5, 2008 followed by internment at Glen Morris Cemetery. The family is especially thankful for the Cambridge Memorial Hospital 5th floor staff and doctors for their constant attention to Wray's comfort this past week. Although not necessary, expressions of sympathy can be made to the Glen Morris United Church, the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.
