So sorry to hear of the passing of my beloved cousin Raby. Coincidentally I was currently trying to re-establish contact with him after many years of drifting apart for no reason. My love to Susie and also Carol & Yvonne send their love. I still have memories of fear batting against his bowling on that home made wicket at Tregeagle.
A truly great cricketer with an equally great sense of humour. A longtime friend and member of an esteemed pioneer family of Tregeagle. The Blake and Hoskins families association began around 1879. My condolences to his wife and family. Fred Hoskins.
Dear Susie
I am Raby’s cousin. Daughter of James Alexander Sunclair, known as Alec often called ‘Doc’ by his family.
I was unable to attend, however my thoughts are with you at this time.
I remember Raby, Margo, uncle Harry and aunty Edie with fondness.
Kind regards
Fran
Ruby was my Best friend going to Tregeagle Public school.
I lived about 4 Miles from him, and we used to play nearly every Sunday at his place, And his Mother used to make us a Lovely Cup of Tea and Chocolate Biscuits.
I lost contact with Raby after I went to Lismore High School, The last I heard he was Married and moved to Queensland.
I moved to Wollongong to work, and now retired and live in Western Australia.
I also used to play Cricket on their Pitch on the Farm.
Very Sorry to hear of his Passing.
He was a very great Friend in our early School Days just wished I had kept in touch.
Condolences to his Family.
