On Friday 25th February 2022, we sadly suddenly lost my dear father, Raymond Cavanagh. 

Ray was a larger than life character, his iconic beard and pipe - made him instantly recognisable whether at AFC Wimbledon cheering on the team or whilst enjoying a meal at his favourite restaurant, the House of Spice. 

He was kind and had a big heart, and would help anyone in need - you would only need to ask once and he'd help.

He told terrible jokes, he'd save them up, he loved animals - especially our husky Benji (and of course our Rough Collies when i was growing up). 

He will always be remembered, he will always be loved.

He's reunited with mum (Christine) at long last.

If you are unable to attend in person and wish to still attend the funeral, we have arranged a live stream which is accessible here:

Note from Cheryl:

If you wish to send flowers this is welcome, alternatively I have selected two worthy charities Dad would love to see donations go to in his name.

Dogs Trust (Harefield branch is where we adopted Benji) - cash donations can be made to Dogs Trust - but Harefield branch also take kind donations of food and supplies that go directly to the dogs in their care.    We have also arranged some donation envelopes for Dogs Trust which will be at the funeral/reception/Wake.
See here for details: https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/our-centres/harefield/
Online donation: https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/donation/

and also

The Donkey Sanctuary, Sidmouth, Devon.
Mum & Dad loved this place, and I have fond memories of holidays with them visiting the donkeys.
