Dear Martha and John

Yes, Ray was special and he brought happiness and affection to a lot of friends and family but most of all to me. I will miss him very much. So, I will need my good friends to console me. We go back so very many years and you have always been there for me. I know you will be there now. Thank you and Love, Helen

To our dear friend Helen and her family, we were so sorry to hear of the sad loss of Ray. We have such happy memories of our get together's for 'fish' at Yate on the beach in Playamar and also when we visited you both in Clearwater...happy days. Whenever we experience the loss of a loved one, it is always difficult to know what to say to those left behind, but please take comfort from the fact that he is no longer in pain and WILL be smiling down on you. We are grateful that we could call Ray and Helen - friends. God bless, Nuala and Dave xx

Ten years ago, I got the chance to meet Ray when with Helen they welcomed me in their family for my summer holidays. Not only they opened me their house, they also opened me their heart. Since then we have shared together so many other great moments in Torremolinos. Ray was a wonderful, kind and generous man who always took good care of me in Florida, Paris or Spain. I can hardly believe I will not see him again; I will miss him a lot.
I’d like to present all my condolences to you Helen and to the family and I wish I could be there for the funeral with everyone who loved him.

Ray is truly an angel who came into my mother's and my life at a time of need. He loved us and nurtured us as only a father and husband could do. He was one of the kindest men I have even known. When my wife Esther gave birth to Giulianna, he moved to Clearwater to be near his granddaughter. No girl could have a more loving Grandpa. Now Ray has moved on to his "Father's House". I will miss him dearly, may he rest in peace with the Lord and may the peace that comes beyond our understanding come to mom.

John 14:2 In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?

Ray was definitely one of the nicest men I have ever met and I am so blessed to have had him in my life. Ray was caring, giving, unpretentious and just a very genuine man. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. I will miss him immensely.

Ray was my beloved husband of 31 years. Although he was ill for many years I will miss him terribly and my heart is heavy with his loss. We shared so much. We travelled frequently and developed lasting friendships with people from many different countries. He was always held in high esteem. At home he was loved by our family. He will be sorely missed and I am left to mend a broken heart.

I would like to give my condolences to Helen and her side of the family for the loss. They took good care of my father, the best they could in his last years. I wish that things were different and I could have come to visit once in a while. He has a Grandson named Christopher that he never met, he's 8 years old now. It will be my first fathers day with out you dad! I love you dad, R.I.P. I wish we could have spent more time together and laughed and cried. But I'm crying now! God Bless Dad.
