Ray and I worked together at Whitireia Polytechnic. We shared the office together for years. He always spoke with love about the Christmas carols at his home and the fabulous dinner that Louise cooked. He spread joy and laughter wherever he went. He and Louise attended our daughters wedding too. He will surely leave a gap in our lives. Condolences to the entire family from Joseph Rosita and family, Auckland. May his soul rest in peace.

Dear Louise,
I am really sorry to hear about your loss. I knew Ray through work and we worked together for more than a decade. Hope you and your family have the strength to bear his loss. May his soul rest in peace.
