Raffie was born in Aberdeen on June 25, 1941. He is much loved and will always be remembered by all his friends and family. A unique man of courage and conviction. He was kind and generous with a strict morale code and self belief that could not be rocked, never afraid to speak his mind and always full of stories.He fell in love only once in his life and loved her with the same passion till the day he died. He was a loving Father and Granpa and will leave a huge hole in the lives of those who knew and loved him of which there are many. The man I most looked up too, he leaves shoes that no-one can fill, sleep tight Dad (my hero)
