In memory of Raymond Downie who passed away on 13th May 2020. Ray put up a good fight to stay with us, and in the end he passed peacefully. He was a loving husband to Catherine (Kate) and a very devoted dad and dad-in-law to Colin and Evonne and Stuart, and a doting Pa to Catherine and Fergus. Fergus didn’t meet his Pa but everyone around him will make sure he knows him. He was also the best friend anyone could have. Ray lived for his family...and his holidays...and in years gone by, his fishing - with many fishing tales probably best left untold! He was a keen football supporter and once upon a time he would never miss attending a game. He used to watch all, and any, sport on telly, his family joked that if paintdrying was deemed a sport, he would watch it. Football and horse-racing were his favourites and he loved having a bet and watching it on telly. Ray is sorely missed by his family and everyone who knew and loved him, but with plenty of happy memories to make us laugh he is always with us. We will always smile when we think of him and will look for him in rainbows.
