Ray was a long time Comets member whose formal involvement began with his coaching of the Under 9's during the 1986/7 season.  From there his involvement with the club continued to grow.

His formal involvement included eight years on the clubs management committee including five as club Secretary and one as Vice President. Ray also coached for 19 years, found time to play for four years plus umpire.

Ray knew that more could be achieved through a quiet word and gentle touch. Through life's journey we are joined by many people, some cut across our path like a willy willy, others we hardly notice.  Then there are those like Ray, who sidle up in step with a firm gentle guide, a light touch.  It's not until you look back that you see the lasting mark and strong footprint that he has left.

There is no doubt that through his involvement with our club he has had a lasting influence and impact on those he coached, worked and played with.

A gentleman and friend, sadly missed, but not forgotten.
