Thank you Terry. Very much appreciate the kind words. Hope you are keeping well
Condolences, to Rays (Barry) family, he will be sadly missed, we were great friends. Miss, you Ray, love from Leighann and Neville, and Margaret who you called each other grandma and grandpa. xx
Thank you Leghann for being such a good friend to Dad and such a good neighbor. He was very fond of you and Neville.
Saddened to hear of Ray’s sudden passing. He was a much respected Cardinia Waters resident, and a part of our bowling club. He would always help others out, especially driving residents to medical appointments. We were enjoying his travel posts on Facebook and proud of his endeavours. I enjoyed especially his devotion to the Collingwood Magpies. My sympathies to his family, and his village family too. We mourn his passing, too. His sad passing on the voyage of his life, means he passed doing what he loved most. Farewell Ray!
Cheers John
Indeed he was having a ball on the voyage of a lifetime. And yes, Collingwood, he was their Number 1 Supporter. What will they do without him??!!!!
Thank you for your kind words
Our deepest sympathy to the family at this difficult and sad time.
Grief takes its own time and cannot be rushed.
This is and will be, a big adjustment in our lives over the loss of our friend.
Thank you Gary and Michelle for your kind words and support at this difficult time as well as your direct reachouts. They are very much appreciated.
We hope to see you all at his service to say farewell and celebrate his life.
May Ray Rest In Peace.
I didn’t know Ray well, but I know he enjoyed life in the village. He was taking us along on the European river cruise by sharing photos daily.
Thank you Marion for your kind words and support this past week. The family very much appreciates it.
Ray you were a great Neighbour and bin fairy you were enjoying your trip and I enjoyed the photos with you rest in peace my friend the magpies will fly high. Will miss our banter Sue
Thanks Susan. We will all miss the banter especially the Collingwood kind!
Deepest condolences to Ray’s family for your loss. I promised Ray that I will let him know if Nick Daicos won the Brownlow and I will honour that commitment
Floreat Pica, mate
Cheers Anthony. You realise ifa Magpie wins the Brownlow that Dad will claim the credit. Apparently he was the brains behind the Pies!!!
Ray was a really good friend of so many in our village attending bowls and his company at Fridays cards and so many other functions and me being a Collingwood fanatic just as Ray was we both enjoyed the Pies succeeding in thier wins.
Following his trip around Europe with his postings always his remarks was enjoyed by us all. Ray you passed doing what you wanted to do and passed doing that. Rest in peace Ray you will sadly be missed by so many Ron
Thanks Ron. You’ll have to carry on the Collingwood flag flying on Dad’s behalf now!
We will certainly miss you Ray. You made friends with us when we moved into the Village and we always enjoyed our fish and chip nights cards on Friday and the meals with you as well as bowls and you got to buy me that drink before you went on your holiday. You will be sadly missed.
Thanks Ian and Marlene. So much appreciate the kind words and it reflects how welcoming Dad was to everyone he met. Hope to see you and other residents at the service to hear more.

So sad to hear of Ray’s passing. You went doing what you loved. Condolences to the family.
Big man, even bigger heart! The pies have lost a loyal fan, we have lost a cousin, friend, and all round great guy. All the Hales family will miss you so much! Love you dearly, R.I.P Cousin Ray
We miss you Ray, my telephone buddy and our friend. So glad you got to head off on your European river cruise. You sure knew how to bow out in style, living the high life to the last minute.
Well Clarkie, you went the way you wanted. Fast, having a ball with new friends. One could say you went first class.
A few days ago, I was swooped by a magpie protecting its nest. Reminded me of you not just for your beloved Magpies, but also your absolute determination to protect your young’ uns. You Ray Clarke, were and still are, a man among men.
I’ve know Ray for over 50 years and my wife Lily knew you a lot longer than that. Our kids called you Uncle Clarkie. Many a great Christmas and footy final was had in your company.
You are our family and we mourn your passing but remember the person you were.
Kind, generous, protective, a great friend.
When we were meeting up in the later years you would often say what a grumpy old bugger you had become. Lily would say “right you are Ray. But you’re our grumpy bugger!”
Vale Ray. You will be missed greatly.
Tony Lily and family
Condolences to all of Ray’s family. Will be thinking of you today as you say your goodbyes to a lovely fun loving man. Love, Bev.
So so sad to lose this lovely man, my sincerest condolences to his children, partners and family. All of Rays cousins too will feel this loss – he was larger than life.
Thank you. Your message will be displayed once moderated. This may take up to 24 hours.
