Dearest Ray, it's been over a week and I still don't know what to say, except to express our condolences and extreme love to Linde and your family. We will always be here for her, just as we tried to always be here for you. Your voice on the phone is one of my happiest memories.

You suffered so much, and I'm glad your suffering is over. That doesn't make it any easier on Linde or the rest of us who love you so. And Eric is right - we WILL see you again when WE get home. You brought so much love to so many, and we are so honored to call you friend.

Our love for you is never-ending.

For Linde,

Having never met Linde or Ray in person, I am not surprised by the amount of souls that were ENRICHED by his presence.
His love for all was/is contagious.

WE will see you soon when WE get home.

Thanks be to the Gods for Ray.

My condolences to lovely Linde and the entire family of Mr. Ray Hocking.

Dearest Ray, You have brought love and happiness to Lindes life, more than she had ever known, you lit up her world, and loved her like the beautiful Goddess she is. For that I truly thank you. You call a spade a spade, and have always been down to earth and open and honest. I respect you and honour you. Go with Love and peace now and ever more. your sometimes cheeky sister in law Penny xxx

My darling Ray, we found each other and shared precious memories for eight years. You taught me lots, how to be fearless and treat everyone the same; as if they were a down to earth truckie, how to kill flies, and to put things back where I got them!
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as Im living
My sweetheart you'll be
Xxx

Ray, I never thought I would find a new Dad, but you came into my life and made me feel like I was your real daughter. You were dearly loved by your grandsons, and they have asked the Angels to take special care of you. Xxx Megan.

God looked around his garden and found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face,
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest,
Gods garden must be beautiful he always takes the best.
I love and miss you Dad xox
