Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On October 10, 2026 @ 2:00 PM In Obituary, Seaforth | 70 Comments
Passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at the Seaforth Community Hospital on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the age of 84. Loving husband to Lois (McLachlan) Scoins for 46 years. Cherished father of Raymond Scoins, Pam Proper (David), and Gail Redford (Paul). Proud grandpa of Raymond Scoins, Shae-Lynne Norman (Clayton), Andrew Proper, Derek Proper (Aniela), Kyle Redford (Emily), and Lucas Redford. Beloved great-grandfather of Colt Proper and Noa Proper. He is survived by his sister-in-law, Mayda Scoins. Dear brother-in-law of June and Don, Jack and Mary Helen, Glen and Linda, Carol and Gus, and Don and Kim. He will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his first wife, Marie (Stone) Scoins; his parents, Norman and Ina Scoins; and his brother, Ronald Scoins.
He had a lifelong passion for golf and hockey, especially enjoying his time playing with the Old Timers hockey team. Even in his later years, he continued to enjoy a round of golf and could often be found out on the Seaforth Golf Course. In his younger days, he enjoyed square dancing and had a love for travelling, spending many winters in Florida. He also loved a good game of cards and could often be counted on to liven up family gatherings with a friendly game.
Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 87 Goderich Street West on Thursday, October 15th from 2- 4 PM and 6-8 PM. A private funeral service will be held, with interment at Maitlandbank Cemetery.
Donations can be made to the Seaforth Community Hospital Foundation, or to the Alzheimer Society Huron Perth in Raymond’s memory.

Lois and all the family – Ray was still enjoying his golf up until a few months ago! He biked out here and walked the course, a testament to his fitness and stubborn nature. Ray was a long time member here and a great volunteer at the Seaforth Country Classic events,

Ray was such a generous and kind volunteer at Blyth Festival for so many years….
There are literally thousands of people, over years and years of service, who he greeted at the doors and saw to their seats…always with gentle welcome. Thousands of lives he gently touched in this way.
I find myself thinking too of the new volunteers, and younger volunteers, that Ray helped to mentor and show the ropes. His impact on the Festival was profound.
We are so sorry for your loss. He will be missed

I am so sorry to hear about Ray’s demise. Unfortunately, my extended time in Western Canada curtailed family gatherings and only on limited vacation time home. We had good rapport. Our health episodes seemingly took up too much of our lives. Ray is at peace … no more health issues. May his rest be eternal. Special prayers for you and the family. Uncle Doug
So very sorry to hear about Ray’s passing.
It was always a delight whenever or wherever you ran into Ray and Lois.
Ray was a man of few words, but his quiet smile and the light in his eyes spoke volumes.
Such a pleasure to share a conversation with someone who enjoyed so many things in life.
Will miss seeing him biking around town, and that never forgotten wave as he went by.
My sympathies to Lois and family.
