Our deepest sympathies to Liz, Steve, Angela, Allie and family. Ray was a real down to earth guy a pleasure to have known, so easy to get on with. We are lucky to have known him and to have been part of the family. R.I.P

Our sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. From the Board and Members of NZCCA.

So sorry to see you leave us , you were a rock for so many of us as we were growing up , a great influence & great confidant , you're memory will be cherished

Pa, we are broken hearted. You have been snatched away well before your time. The love,care and strength that you have shared with us will stay with us always. You have been a great Grandad to our Allie, she has always known your love and I know you will remain in her heart. You and Steve are great mates, a great team, two Peas in a pod. I will miss your cheeky giggles that would come out after a days work and a couple of beers. You are my father in law, but over the years I have also found a friend in you. A friend we will all miss dearly. There is no doubt that you are a great man, people from all over have told us so, A Legend. A GREAT bloke.
We wish you could have stayed longer, to finish your plans with Liz and grow really old. But it is not to be.
Goodbye my friend.
Xx Ang
