Sincere condolences to all the family and apology for my absence at Ray’s funeral.
Had 31 years at Brambles myself and was fortunate enough to be taught a lot about trucking by “Storky”, as were many others during our time there.
Never did get to see him play for the Mighty Blacks but from what I have learned you would rather be playing with him than against him.
I also probably never got to thank him for what he taught me ,not just about trucking but also a lot about life, so I will say it now, thanks a lot big fella’.
RIP “Storky”.
Ian(Circusman)Foster.
heartfelt condolences to Margret and family on passing of STORKY
he was a good friend and workmate at Brambles for many years.
he was driver to many at Brambles dinners waiting to drive the drinkers safely home
thanks storky.
Ray and Marg meant a lot to me growing up in Addison Ave, they were like an uncle and aunty. I have the fondest memories from my childhood days. Some school holidays in the mid 70’s having a sleepover and being awaken at 4am to go in the truck with Ray, it was an awesome experience, he definitely tought me how to swear with his conversations on the CB Radio lol. Sunday night watching the footy with Rex Mossop and a dinner of chips, chops, peas and eggs. Going fishing in the Storky and porky at Jervis bay catching flathead. I apologise for not keeping in touch but life is so busy. He is the reason I support the Roosters. I remember Gail taking me on many Sundays to watch the Port Kembla blacks. What a great man. Keep strong Marg.
Take care
