Our beloved Ray, husband, dad and grandad passed away on 2nd October at Maidstone Hospital.

Ray was the head of our family and we are overwhelmed with sadness at his passing. Ray has been described by many people over the years and reiterated since his passing ‘a true gentleman’, a ‘kind soul’ and ‘an absolute joy of a man’. We couldn’t agree more. On top of those things, he was an incredible husband, a wonderful dad, a super father in law and the most special grandad.

We shall be travelling to Charing Crematorium on Wednesday 2nd November for Ray’s funeral which shall be taking place at 11:30am. Everyone is welcome.

Ray did love a black tie, but you are most welcome to wear what is comfortable.

Ray did ask that flowers from immediate family only, but if you would like to make a donation to the British Heart Foundation, you can do so by visiting the just giving page.

The wake shall take place at the Guildhall Museum, located in the beautiful High Street in Rochester. All are welcome.

Postcode is ME1 1PY. Nearest parking would be the Train station/ corn exchange/ blue boar lane or the cathedral car park.

Thank you.
