So sorry to hear about the news about Ray.
I will miss our chats. Always have great memories when Ray lived with Mum and I
in Ulverstone, when he popped over for a ‘quick’ visit, and forgot to go back!
I also hold close the times Ray and Lavena would visit me at the Austin when things were a bit grim for me.
Sadly I am unable to watch the service, I’ll be on a plane returning home, after a funeral in Tassie. Love to all the family.
Sad to hear of another “Legend” departing. Good memories of a Top Bloke &
great times shared with Loz, Pitty & Couchie. Lots of love to Lavena & family.
With our deepest sympathy Lavena, Joanne, Sharon and Carolyn and your families on the loss of your beautiful husband, father and grandfather. Remembered with such fondness.
My prayers and thoughts are with Lavena, Joanne, Sharon, Carolyn and families in the sad passing of your wonderful husband, loving father and poppy Ray. What wonderful memories I have of all the fun times Ray, Lavena, Laurie and I shared over the years
Thank you Ray for your friendship,
Love Di & family.
Dear Lavena, Although we have not been in contact in recent times, I was very sad to hear of Ray’s passing.
