We had the pleasure of having Ray and Jan as our neighbours for many years, often having a lovely chat while out in the front garden. We were happy to help out in getting groceries for Ray during the covid
years, picking up some items that a chef would be proud to have on their menu. It appears he new what he was doing when it came to cooking. He was also quite partial to a Mr Kipping cake or two! Ray was always so grateful and generous with his thanks and he always looked so smart when ever we saw him and especially when he went out. It is lovely to see photos of both Ray and Jan in their younger years that the family have put on here and we send our condolences and best wishes to all the family.

Much loved and highly respected by all who knew him. He was somebody I looked up to and was in awe of his delivery of ritual, being the personal recipient of it on a number of occasions. He will be sadly missed.

In total admiration for Ray's presentation and delivery of ritual and his approach to his responsibilities. Very few will match him; many will emulate him and all of us will miss him.
