Only last night Wally said that Ray had been in and out of hospital over the last few weeks.

Like Rally, Ray was a true friend to me and the family, and I got on well with him when I was MT Cpl at the Depot in the early 70.

It brings it home to you that all the elders of the regiment are leaving us.

My condolances to Ray's family, and Ray mate rest in peace.

Ray was a wonderful friend, with a unique ability to offer advice without prejudice. He had a marvelously impish smile and twinkle in his eye.

With his warm and friendly personality, he touched many lives throughout his career. His positive attitude would always conjure a smile on the most challenging of days, and I don’t think I ever had a conversation with Ray that didn't involve laughter and usually, lots of it.

I would like to send the warmest empathy and condolences; our hearts and prayers go out to Ray’s family and friends during this difficult time.

We will all miss him dearly.
