Loved going on the classic caravan holidays with you when I was younger with Shelly , Richard , grandmar and grandad, was such a laugh and I enjoyed your cheerful company , rest in peace ray Xx

Grandad, you truly were an inspiration to me and one in a million. I will never forget the jokes, the laughter, and the special times we had together. The sand cars at the beach, the little rhymes you used to say, and the amount of times I relied on you for a taxi service. I miss you deeply, and I promise to make you proud in everything I do. Just promise me to not be running any marathons — I’ll do that for you. Lots of love Grandad, you’ve left a Grandad-shaped hole in my life xxx

Ray what can I say other than thank-you for being a great friend to my mother and father in law Mary and Geoff. I know they will take great comfort in the amazing memories they have that you all made together over the years..... you will forever be in their thoughts and minds and am sure days wont by without your name being mentioned by them. Its not good bye but see you later. Xxx love the Gibsons
