We met Ray and Claire when they moved in next door 11 years ago.Ray was always a source of helpful knowledge and could solve most problems. One of which was how to fix my rotary washing line to the edge of the patio, I think of him every time I use it now and thank him for being so inventive. He was never too busy to help, always ready for a chat and always had a project on the go. It was a pleasure knowing Ray and an experience in itself ( a good one!). We will miss him greatly, it wont be the same when we are in the garden and there is no friendly banter from Ray. Janet and Mick Murduck.

One of life's characters. A modest man with nothing to be modest about!

My uncle Ray I never saw him much when I was younger as he lived and worked far away. I do remember his Ford Capri and his fast driving!. Sometimes he would stay with us if his work was our way. He taught me how to shoot and skin rabbits. I think he is cool, and he used to swear a lot too! I will miss you lots Terry xx
