Dear Mary and Family,
sincerely sorry for your loss. I met Ray a number of times with my late dad Alan O'Brien and it was always such a pleasure to meet with him. Ray came to Stonycroft a few times to pass on some harmonica wisdom and tips to Al's grandson (my son) Brishan and again I have great memories of the mini-sessions in Al's front room in Stonycroft, with Ray, Brishan and Joshua.

Once again massive condolences to ye all.

Sincere condolences to Mary and family.

We have fond memories of Ray in our first branch in AIB Stillorgan and following his music career in subsequent years. A talented man and good human being.

RIP Ray.
I’m sorry that I knew Ray only from golf but am lucky to have had that at least. His company was a real pleasure and his attitude to life was pure jazz. Goodbye to a special person.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Ray’s passing. We met through golf at Newlands, and from the very first time we played together, he had a wonderful way of making me feel like we’d known each other for years. He was such a gentleman, always ready with a great story and a positive outlook that brightened the day before we even hit a ball.

It was a special joy to discover the connection he shared with my late father through their music and time in Slade Valley; Ray even kindly gave me his 'Do Ray Me' CD for him. Ray was a lovely man who brought so much 'craic' and kindness to the club. He will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to all his family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam
