I had the pleasure of meeting Ray many years ago through the word game words with friends online. He bacame a close friend through our chats on there and latterly through Facebook. He was very proud of Cheryl and told me all about her having many friends. He also shared his love of AFC Wimbledon, The House of Spice, Benji and a cheeky Jamiesons. Ray spoke to many people on Words and was so open and friendly you felt he was in the room with you.
