Rest In Love Ray. Condolences to all his whanau at this sad time. I worked with Ray at Mainland/Fonterra many years ago and also live on Egmont street aswell so always waved or if I was mowing the lawns he'd pull over for a chat with his little foxy dog.

"Old Boy" is how I knew you. Work colleagues and then friends. Such a handsome man you were. You would come out to walk around the farm in Meremere and then sit, with great conversations, many laughs and a couple of beers.
My condolences to the Whanau, you have lost a great man. My heart goes out to you all.
You will be missed 'Old Boy'xx

So glad I ran into you a few weeks ago, and got to have hugs and a catch-up.

A bloody good guy that will be missed, and talked about.
