Ray was a classic in the truist sense. I fondly recall spending time with my Pittsburgh crew who Ray was such a central part talking about how we all hoped our lives would take shape. Ray, as we all knew, would be a huge success. Ray had a laugh and a smile that if you saw you know exactly how special and memorable he was. Ray was exceptional. I am happy to have known him.

Remembering you Ray with a smile and such great memories but also in disbelief that it is five years ago that you slipped onto the next plateau and left us all behind. As usual I have looked through all of your amazing and cherished Christmas cards with those superb photos and raised a glass to you with all of us Sheridan gang xxxx

This reminder popped up as I was holding a photograph of Ray in my hand - I kept all of bis Christmas photo cards and I am not really surprised that his energy is still here all around us all. It has been a less colourful year without you Ray!

It is so incredibly sad to think that Ray will no longer be in our lives, as he was such a wonderful guy. His gentleness, his deep sense of friendship and sense of humour will be cruelly missed, as will he. My sincere condolences to his loved ones.

There are no words for the sadness felt when I heard the news of Ray's passing. He certainly will be missed, and we will be praying for the peace of Christ to be with you as you grieve the loss of your brother, son, uncle, nephew, and friend. He had an innate ability to bring laughter into any situation. He truly was one of a kind!

Sending our deepest condolences to Ray's family and loved ones, this was such a shock to hear of Ray's passing. He always told us about you, his family, with such love and pride, and was such a family man. Ray was a perfect gentleman, a lovely friend and a really decent and fun human being. What a life he led - and although we didn't see him often -it was always a joy when we did. Ray did everything he did so well. We will always remember the good times and remember with love our American friend of twenty years, that became more British than the rest of us. A life so well lived.
