Worked with Ray at Foden St surgery and stayed friends after leaving for many years, had lots of memorable evenings out as a group of 5, Ray definitely enjoyed being seen out with 4 ladies! So sorry to hear of his passing, such a lovely man - but privileged to have known him. Rest in peace my friend x

Will never forget my uncle Ray's dynamic presence. He filled a room with his energetic personality. Very sad to know he is no longer here. The Barker siblings were one of a kind.

Ray, the cast and crew of The Hospital Show would like everyone to know what an absolute pleasure it was to share a stage with you. Your patience and professionalism served as an example for new members and your sense of humour shone like a diamond. Here's to the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd! With all our love The Hospital Show x
