Oh no this is such sad news. Wow, Ray was a legend and all round good guy. He was happy to help and always interested in others. What a guy and he will be sorely missed.

Re: Ray noon 2018 Rip
Thanks Paul.
Really awful news. I suppose it was inevitable but Ray had been battling on in his usual way and as usual had a great attitude, more concerned for others than himself. I was Emailing and texting him just a few weeks ago and had meant to check in with him in the past couple of days but work and other irrelevant nonsense got in the way.
A massive loss, not just to this site, to XMs, the Citroen community in general, and of course most of all Ray's family and friends, God help him, and them.
Live life to the full guys, Ray did and he never let that bastard disease get him down.
Absolutely gutted.

Re: Ray noon 2018 Rip
Really, really sad news, although not unexpected. Take my hat off to Ray, who, with Matt and others, set out and did the Grand Tour of France and Spain - where we all met up in Almeria for a glorious day.
A gentle man, and a true gentleman, who - as folk have said - always seemed more interested in others than himself. Only this morning, I wondered about how he was doing. Inquisitive and kindly to the last... that is my abiding memory.

Re: Ray noon 2018 Rip
Thanks for passing on this sad news Paul. as others have said, Ray was a really nice Guy and kept his demeaner bright to the end.
I did wonder why he hadn't attended the CCC National rally.

Re: Ray noon 2018 Rip
Very sad news indeed. Ray was a lovely chap and had such enthusiasm for the XM and their owners. A pleasure to know him and will be greatly missed on here and the CCC rallies.
