Frank Victor Ray

I know much about my Dad's life, but there are many things,
many stories, many truths, many friends and many memories
that I, and many of his family and friends, do not know.

I know my Dad touched many peoples hearts throughout his full life.
I have met a few and would like to hear from, and meet, the many others.

I want to build a lasting tribute to a very special man.

My way of saying thank you.

By building this 'archive' of memories, photos and stories
I hope to put in place many things.

A place for reflection, a place for laughter, a place for tears.
A place for wisdom.
A special place where my Dad can live on, as well as in people's hearts.
And his life can reach out and touch us all.
I invite all his friends and family to come forward with memories,
stories and photos, to help us all learn more of this remarkable man and
share in his life story.

Please submit any memories you have here or pass on any information to:

Last Record
Dad was a real music nut, and this was the last album he listened to, that we found on his record player. It was Diana Ross, Portrait.

Speakers Corner
Whilst I was growing up in the midlands my Dad was working away in London most of the year. Visiting him at every opportunity, we frequently spent many hours at Speakers Corner on Sunday mornings.
