Ray was a longtime Family friend.
I had my first motorbike trip on his Triumph Tigercub aged 13 looking for lost WODs in the Manningtree area.
The Family had fun times on the "Blue Tango", Ray's cabin boat in the early day's.
I sailed on his BOD, Black Shadow, many times.
Once he came to stay with Laureen and me in Formby with David Pettitt looking for a cruiser and found one at Conwy (Le Gamba)
Also he sailed with us on our Star, Juno, through the Menai Strait.
Happy memories, and now sadly missed. RIP Ray -John,Laureen and Sarah Laing
