Raymond 'Ray' Philip Wise (25 Nov 1947 - 28 Mar 2025)

Ray was a brother from another mother but we were very close he would make me use language I should not use but we would always have a laugh and joke. When he went to Barbados both him and Chris would go off together god knows what they were up to they never told us but would come back with a big smile on their faces. We will miss you terribly

You will always be remembered coming to one of our New Year’s Eve parties dressed in a full red Indian outfit frightening the lives out of our kids. You will be sadly missed by all xx

I miss you much l love you much and all the memories that l have growing up with you sleep well my brother xxxx

Ray, although you may not have been a blood relative I always thought of you as my grandad and have always loved you very much.

Since I was a little boy you were there for me, giving encouragement and believing in me through both good and bad times.

It’s hard to say goodbye when I feel like there’s still so much I had yet to share with you, future times to look forward to and celebrate.

I know you thought a great deal of Ellie, and she of you. The times we visited to see you & Nan are such happy memories, which we’ll treasure for the rest of time.

The one thing we can be glad about is you’re no longer in pain, you’re with Nan now and can finally rest.

I miss you Ray. Ellie and I love you. Goodbye, Grandad. ❤️

A special friend and father figure, supporting and loving, kind and loyal, a man I feel truly lucky to have known.
May you rest in peace and happiness with Maureen.
A loving memory of you will live on in our hearts forever. Xxx

My dearest big brother there are no words that l can say to bring you back your happy now no more pain and back together with Maureen your true love I would ask you to o keep looking over us and guide us through this tough time especially Kate love you always and forever your baby sister Linda
