What a truly beautiful funeral, for a remarkable and truly wonderful gentleman. The words were right Southampton has truly lost a great Christian Man but memories of Ray and the lives he touched will remain forever more.

I have never heard such a beautiful personal tribute that echoed every part of such a wonderful man. Lucy you did your dad and all of us proud- not one of us could have spoke such beautiful words that touched the hearts and minds of everyone just like your dad! I will remember that warm feeling in my heart whilst thinking of memories of your dad

Thinking of you Ray- may you rest peacefully knowing that your spark, your Witt and the true gent that you are will live on

My thoughts are with Pat and the family
With Best wishes
