Joe Monkhouse — 11 January 2021

Thank you Ray for your kindness and big heart. When I would visit you with Cathy, and later with your great grandchildren, you would always offer a smile, offer a thoughtful enquiry about how the English cricket team were doing (I think you always knew that our test side had just lost to Australia) and offer a selection of biscuits (which I think you did to commiserate me on the English loss). I would turn the conversation to golf which I enjoyed chatting with you about. You have been a wonderful role model for your immediate and wider family. We love you and miss you. Thank you for being so superbly you.
