Dear Martin,
What very sad news. I like to think that Ray was a much respected and loved colleague and will be very much missed.
Yours
Chris

He also shared his encyclopaedic knowledge of boundary - and many other - issues with great generosity in academic and practitioner circles, not least at IBRU conferences and workshops and on this email list. Those of us who were fortunate enough to know 'Mr Ray' will remember a remarkable and inimitable person with gratitude and great affection. We will miss you.
