You were such a gentleman that I had the pleasure of working for you and your wife Pauline, now your with your wife you’ve got each other now, tomorrow we lay you rest. R.I.P Ray you will be missed by everyone who knew you.

A truly lovely man who will be missed by many x

So sorry to hear this news 😢 I have such fond memories of working for Raymond and Pauline in the central and living behind the Richmond for years, they were a great support to me when my mum Celia moved to Canada, from plating up a Sunday lunch when I was at work to having a pint poured and on the bar for me getting in from backshift. The best memories are being Raymond's glamorous assistant while we performed many bar tricks, sending best wishes to you all, love from Tracey Dickinson (nee Pyper) x
