We are kindly asking for freinds, family and community support to try and raise funds towards the cost of a funeral, for our dearly loved family friend Ray Hogben.

Ray who has been with us in the family for 14 years and has been my nans best friend and like a grandad to me, suddenly passed away on the 27th of December 2016. This came as a great shock to all the family and we are all now left with a hole in our heart. He wasn't just a friend, He was part of our family.

Unfortunately, Ray didn't have any funeral cost plan insurance set up. And as this was such an unexpected death, we don't have such funds available to just gather together.

Ray deserves a great send off! He did so much for not only my nanna and my family, but he did a lot for his community and was such a lovely guy and was genuine and kind to anyone he met and would always be helping others.

He was so full of life, this is going to be very hard for us to deal with such a sudden loss. He was an awesome man and He will be sadly missed by a lot of people.

If you could donate even the smallest amount. Your support would be greatly appreciated. We just want to be able to give Ray the send off he truly deserves!

Thank you.
