HI,
I KNEW FATHER GLOFCHESKI WHILE BEING STATIONED WHILE BEING STATIONED IN CFB BARRIE. HIS GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT HELPED SHAPED MY FUTURE GOING FORWARD AND I AM AN ORDAINED CHAPLAIN TODAY, I BELIEVE IN PART DUE TO HIS COUNSELLING. HE WAS AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING AND I WILL FOREVER REMEMBER HIM.
It is with great sadness that we hear of Fr Ray passing. We did not see each other often enough, but each meeting was a joyous and memorable occasion. A gentleman and great friend, we will miss his wit and gentle voice. We will remember him, with fondness, always! God Bless
As I salute you to-day in the final leg of all journeys, I will raise and drink a toast, and fondly reminisce our conversations together, when you attended at Sacred Heart of Jesus,Virden.

Dear Father Raphael. Thank you for your joyful preaching of the gospel and for your pastoral service to the people of God. Thank you for the memories, laughter’s and jokes you shared with us. May God bless you with abundant joy just as you have blessed so many in your priestly ministry. You will always be in our hearts forever.
Many fond memories of Fr. Ray from over the years and especially from the Glofcheski
Reunion.

We will always remember your kindness and encouragement as our beloved priest. You took the time to get to know your parishioners and always greeted us with a smile and warm hug. It's sad to know that you are gone but we're comforted in knowing you will always be with us in spirit. Thank you for all that you've done with Couples for Christ and it's family ministries, with the people of St. Patrick's church and for our own family especially. May you rest in peace, Father G!
It is so sad to think that you are gone now, Father Glofcheski. Thank you so much for being our pastor at St. Patrick's Church for a little while. Thank you for your guidance and humility. We were very fortunate to visit you a few times in your home as well as in the hospital. Thank you for the memories, we know that the angels in heaven are waiting for you to give you comforting warmth. Forever we will miss you Father Raphael Glofcheski.
Father Ray I am so grateful I was able to speak with you several weeks ago. I always loved your stories and teachings. I was so blessed you were able to baptized my son Billy! You are in my heart and will be sadly missed! Love Pauline, Billy, Monika Denault
