I only heard of this today and i must say i am pretty devastated, whilst i didnt know Ray i did grow up and was a great fan of all he did for skateboarding, i will never forget his influence on my skateboarding and having lost both my Gran to a brain tumor and my Pop (Georgie)t o cancer i know the pain felt by his family and friends.
RIP, Ray will be forever in my thoughts.
