As well as a great father, brother and cousin, Ray was an absolutely top notch union man. As a shop steward he stuck up for, and gave a voice to his colleagues. This never makes your own working life easy, and you become a target for managers. Strong trade unionists like Ray make everyone else's working life easier. He never let them grind him down. He will be sorely missed.
