Ray was a very good friend of mine over 40 years ago during his Schlumberger time. We lost sight of each other and I am so very sad to hear of his passing. He is in my thoughts very often and I will remember him with love.

We are so sad to know Ray has passed. We knew him from his time in Denmark. He was the most gentle, wise and humorous man. Hanne Charlotte Jandrup & co

A superb Oil & Gas professional​, but more importantly a wonderful, kind, interesting, humble and humorous man whom it was a privilege to get to know...I'll always remember him, (and his gourmet cooking) fondly...RIP Big Fella Paul J.

I had the good fortune to be a colleague of Ray’s about 12 years ago. I’ll mention only in passing that he was extremely good at his job, more importantly he was warm, kind and humorous. A strong character! He will be sadly missed. Richard

Ray's warmth, humour and candour shone through in both his work and tales of yore of the oil patch. I shared some remarkable and above all 'fun' times alongside Ray at GKP within a close-knit team. Thoughts with his sister. Neil

Ray, thanks for your wonderful enthusiasm on the projects in Kurdistan. I always enjoyed our technical chats and your love of your subject. We often strayed onto your other passion - rugby. You will be sadly missed. Jon Harris.GKP.
