Raymond Carriere
Veteran Rene Adrien Raymond Joseph Carriere, known as Raymond Carriere, was born on December 30, 1925, in Isle des Chênes, Manitoba. At the age of 19, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve and served aboard the HMS Nabob during the Second World War. He survived the torpedoing of the Nabob in 1944 and was evacuated safely with fellow crew members. Following the war, Raymond worked for Canadian National Railway and later held a variety of jobs, including prison guard and powerline worker. After the passing of his first wife Teenie, he married Monica, and together they raised two daughters, Maxine and Judi, and welcomed two grandchildren, Mckenzie and Chelsea. Now retired, Raymond enjoys reading, watching sports and the news, and is a proud member of the Métis Nation of British Columbia.
