Deepest sympathy from Bruce and Kay (née Mullens) Lindsay formerly of East Burwood now living in Ocean Grove
Dear Joan. My Bulldog footy friend since 2002. I will never forget your generous, considerate nature, sense of fun, humour and hospitality — and am particularly remembering the good times Mum and I shared away from footy with you and the McTaggarts.
I’m proud to have known you and to call you and Ray my friends. I will miss you, but am so very glad to have known you.
Sincere condolences to Ray and family.

My deepest condolences to you Ray David and your family
A great lady with a big heart, savvy business woman, and many years have passed but will always remember your kindness and firmness in my teenage years.
Rest in Peace Joan
Sorry to see the passing of your wife Ray.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to come to the service as I live in Queensland .
Still have memories of all you Lightowler boys living next to EBSS and delivering meat from my fathers butcher shop to your mother.
I don’t really remember your wife and family but I know how you all are feeling on the passing of your wife and mother as I was married for 61 years before my wife passed away.
We caught up Ray at the 100th Anniversary of the club and earlier this year in February I made probably my last visit to the ground to have a look at the new ground which was getting near completion.
A lot different to the ground that you and I played on in the 1950,s and early 1960’s.
Sending our deepest condolences to Ray and your family.
Joan was a cherished member of our Buldogs family and a much-loved player sponsor. Her support over the years-from father and son pairings like Scott & Rhylee West to Tony & Tom Liberatore, and so many others – reflected her true passion and loyalty to the red, white and blue.
Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
Ray, David and family, our sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of such a beautiful lady, she was an inspiration to many, and always there to give support and provide encouragement when you needed it. She will be greatly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. Our thoughts are with you all during this very difficult time.
So sorry to hear of Joan’s passing. Sending our most sincere condolences and love to Ray, David & family. Working for Ray & Joan will always remain a memorable time in lives and I’ll always be grateful for the opportunities you both provided. In our thoughts and prayers during this sad and difficult time. Much love, Andy, Anna & family.. ❤️
