So sad to hear the news of the passing of my uncle Ray. I will always hold the fond memories that we had together even though they were very few but were always fun packed and funny. I will always remember Ray as the person who inspired me to enjoy my art and eventually become a signwriter and then eventually my own sign company.

He was adored and worshipped by my late mum, sister of Ray, "Elizabeth / Betty".....We would spend many hours together when I was a young kid talking about Ray and his life, what a special person Ray was.

Just wished I had the chance to spend more time with Ray and family, so that he could of got to see what an impact in my life and see my wife, and kids.

My love always from your Nephew Paul, wife Carol and children Leanne and Ricky from Coventry, England. XXXXX
