We regret to advise of the death of Major Joseph “Joe” James Bray CD (Ret’d) peacefully on 10 February 2011 at the Perley Rideau Veterans Centre, Ottawa, ON at the age of 83.

Joe was born in Regina, SK. He was a graduate of McGill University (BA) and Carleton University (MA), and Canadian Army Staff College. He was a Korean War veteran. He served with pride in both the Regular and Reserve Army with the Royal Canadian Engineers, The Royal Canadian Regiment, and the Regiment of Canadian Guards, in Canada, Korea, England, Gaza, Syria and Jordan. After leaving the army, Joe was employed in the Office of State Visits, Treasury Board Secretariat, Transport Canada and other organizations within the Public Service.

There is a private interment at Beechwood National Military Cemetery. Donations to the Perley Rideau Foundation would be much appreciated. ^{{gdJuly 2015}}
