    Uncle Ray, there were soo many memories I have with you growing up.. from the many evenings at Falcon golf club. I remember stealing all my dads brand new golf balls to give to you. You took me to play at my very first mashy golf course, just the the two of us. To the many evenings at your house playing in your amazing bar with all the memorabilia on the walls and roof. I always wanted to have a beer with you growing up, and we finally did when I was old enough. The many Chirundu trips where I always wanted to come onto your boat are trips I will cherish forever. To the Liverpool games we watched together, we didn't win the ones I remember, but we Champions now! The older I became the more meaningful our conversations became. One of the highlights of coming back to Zimbabwe was to come visit you and Aunty Sybie. To the day I brought Christy to come visit, and her first memory was you calling her "my girl" the first time you met her. I explained that's just how welcoming and loving you are. She felt like she was part of the family already. I learnt alot on how to treat your wife from the way you spoke to Aunty Sybie, you were an amazing husband , a brilliant father and grandfather and of course a great grandfather. To me, you were MY uncle Ray. As excited as I was to introduce you to Christy, I was even more excited to introduce you to MJ... I remember the day clearly. This isnt goodbye, but rather till we see you again! "You'll Never Walk Alone" uncle Ray-

    During this time when we cannot be together physically, please light a candle, say a prayer, plant a tree, support a worthy cause, go fishing, or raise a glass in Ray’s honor.

    Deepest Sympathies to Sybil, Karl, Ashleigh, Eric, Des, Glynis, Trevor, Cheryl,Children,Friends and Family on Ray's departure from all his loved ones. I remember Raymond as a Big Daddy Friend and mentor, as I had no one to look up to, not to forget Uncle Bill. Fishing was a real treat when Trevor and I used to pile in his Blue GT Cortina and off to Croc Creek or Prep Creek at the crack of dawn. Truly memorable occasions they were and still fresh in my 63 year old memory. Fly high with the angels and might I say that once our loved ones pass on, the Lord Almighty provides for yet another Guardian Angel to watch over us. Stay strong in the Lord to All, Jesus will see you through your bereavement.
