    Ray was my boss back in the DMT when I was just a young bloke fresh out of school.
    He was old school and not to much phased him, terrific bloke and easy to get along with.
    Came down to the Domain and watched the guys play in the Public Service Comp along with some other old guys who were pretty handy footballers in the day.
    It was a pleasure to know and work with Ray.
