Wasn't in JLR's myself, but knew Ray at 16 Para Heavy Drop Company, he was on the MT, laugh a minute, Ray never took things seriously. He was going out with a WRAF girl Winnie? (Scottish Lass).

I was Raymond's best friend. We went to school together and sat next to each other in class. We joined Boy's Service together and when we came out we both moved back to Brixham. Raymond had his own business and very successful it was. He was doing really well and went on holiday with his family to Tenerife, where he was killed in a 4x4 accident. I went to his funeral in torquay. He is sorely missed.
