Raymond Francis Deeks (23 Jun 1936 - 20 Nov 2024)

Dear Ray, so many precious memories of both you and lovely Eileen. A huge part of us kids having such a lovely time growing up on Grangehill road was that we all had such great parents who welcomed us all in to their homes and gardens to play. Remembering the August bank holiday BBQ’s, the family parties in the hall at the back of the pub, New Year’s Eve parties, fancy dress costumes and the wonderful holidays. Lots of love Kerry xx

To dearest Ray
We are going to miss you so much for the rest of our lives.
Thank you for just being with us and for being such a wonderful and loving brother.
With all our fondest love from John and Rita

Dear Ray. With thanks for a lifetime of happy memories. From childhood holidays in Ramsgate, Christmas lunch, being you and Eileen’s bridesmaid, bbqs, holidays and fabulous parties with you and Eileen at Grangehill Road, Midnight mass and parties to see the new year in. We will miss you so much. Love Linda, Paul, Philip, Jill and family, xx

Thoughts are with all of Ray's family at this sad time.
Ray was a lovely man who we were all very fond. We will miss seeing him at Millwall with his grandchildren. We also know that our own Dad, John Lengthorn, thought so much of Ray and Eileen and I am sure they will all be having another family party in heaven in to the early hours of the morning.
All our love, Garry, Grainne, Thomas, Georgina and Afia xxxxx

Lots of lovely memories from Grangehill Road, Ray. You and Eileen were always so welcoming, having us all at yours for parties, BBQ’s and more. I remember coming down just to see you both even when Tina wasn’t there. Rest easy our friend. Lots of love from Gemma and Janet xxx

You will be missed so much Ray and never forgotten. Back in the arms of beautiful Eileen 💙💙

Dear Ray,
