Whanau of Ray.. Deepest condolences. My late husband, Les Potiki, knew Ray when he was a young'un and I met Ray in the 1970's when he came to work at Cherry Farm Hospital. Les mentored Ray when he first started working at Cherry Farm and it was awesome to see him progress to where he had reached in his career.
My late son, Tahu, also got to know Ray in a sort of role reversal in the 1990's.
Ray was a really nice guy as a relative & friend.

Sad to see Ray's passing. We worked together at Cherry Farm Hospital and were part of the Management Team who closed it in 1992. Will always remember your sense of humour. Priceless.
RIP mate.
