Just got home from saying our final farewell to you mate.
The lunch crew were all there. Who’d have thought we’d all still be together after all the decades. I still remember my first day at wormalds. You were a brilliant trainer, a great mentor and a bloody good mate. We were all so blessed and enriched to have you in our lives.
The FaceTime calls into my work will be missed.
You’d be so damn proud of Neil and Suzie, as expected they did you proud and spoke brilliantly.
Not sure how to finish one of these, thank you, you will be missed and spoken about often. Lunch at the Mitcham won’t be the same.

My Heartfelt Sympathy to your family Ray. A warm and funny man who had left great memories with us all. It was a true pleasure to know and work with you Ray, we had fun. I can still hear you singing Jeromia was a Bull 🐸 Frog. I know you will be watching over your family from the Party you’re entertaining on the other side. Rest Well dear Ray ❤️🫂🙏🕯️

Dad, I’m a bit broken right now, but I’ll be ok. There just aren’t enough words. I love you, I miss you. I know that you knew how loved you were, and how much Mel and the kids adored you. Hug mum and rest up, we’ll take it from here.
‘And you’.
