A beloved Husband, Dad and Grandpa
Ray will be sadly missed by all his family and friends.
Originally from Watford but latterly Alcombe, Somerset, Ray fought hard against a cruel disease that took him far too soon.
Ray had a full life, he worked as a Refrigeration and Air Conditioning engineer specialising in Chillers. He travelled the world as a commissioning engineer before becoming a manager. After a number of management roles, he set up his own company and took on both his sons as apprentices. This led him to be asked to teach Refrigeration which he did until he died. Although he often complained about the standards now, compared to “his day”, he loved sharing his knowledge and skills and this dedication resulted in him becoming a Fellow of the Institute of Refrigeration.
Ray was a wonderful husband and amazing father always putting his children first and doing everything to ensure they had a wonderful life growing up with him and Hannah.
Hannah, Shaun and Craig will miss him terribly but are truly thankful to have had such a wonderful and irreplaceable man in their lives.
