Dear Ase, Michael, Ian and Liesa;
Rhondda and I are very saddened to read of Ray's passing. Our thoughts are with you all.
As you know, Ray was a valued colleague, and our time at Cadbury's is still a fond memory. Keeping in touch over the years and managing to have the occasional face to face meetings were memories that will stay with me.
Ray was one of life's gentlemen within the Cadbury scene, and was highly thought of by all who had the pleasure of working with and for him.
Please treasure all those memories you hold dear.
