It is with deep regret that we report the sudden and unexpected death of John Ray of Stafford. John was one of the founder members of the FAGB and served as our treasurer for several years. He was well-known throughout the fairground community as a World’s Fair’s correspondent, reporting on fairs in Staffordshire and neighbouring counties from the 1960s until just a few years ago. Our sincere condolences go to his wife Coral and daughter Paula in their great loss.
John’s funeral will take place on Monday 15 March at Stafford Crematorium, commencing at 1.00pm. The crematorium is on the eastern outskirts of Stafford on Tixall Road, which is off the A518 Uttoxeter road, close to Staffordshire University. There is a website giving directions: enter Stafford Crematorium or the postcode ST18 0XZ for information.
