The thing I most admired Ray for was the unconditional love he had for my sister Pat, my nephews and nieces Matt, Katy, Anna and Neil, and my Great Nephews Dylan, Charlie, Noah, Thomas and Jacob. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Ray if it was for his family. Thankyou Ray for the love and care you gave my family! May you and they find peace. Gonna miss having my big brother around.
Love Bunchie (Yvonne to those not in the family) xx

This is a great idea for everyone to share their memories of Dad.
My Dad would do anything for us - acted as our taxi driver whenever we called, came round to help with DIY, he even used to wash and brush my tangled hair as a child.
He couldn't say no very easily if we wanted something, like when I convinced him to let us get 2 kittens when I was younger, or how he used to buy Premier League stickers for mine and Neil's sticker albums every week.
He remembered our interests and things we liked and sometimes he'd phone me just to tell me that he'd seen something in a shop with cupcakes on that he knew I'd like.
My Dad was the best Dad I could've hoped for and I'll miss him loads.
Love you Dad xxx
