The Springvale Districts Family was saddened to learn of the passing of esteemed Life Member Ray Neal on Saturday. Ray served for many years on the committee of the club, most notably as secretary for 6 years.
Ray’s ability to cut through red tape and follow through with council led us to our renovations at Wardale Road, the clubs home at the time. His ability to liaise with council gave our club a voice when we needed it.
A visionary, he was also instrumental in initiating the discussions that led to us now calling Newcomen Road home.
In 2011, Ray was one of 5 club administrators inducted into the clubs inaugural Hall of Fame. Ray remained a great friend and benefactor of the club until the end. One of nature’s gentlemen, he will be sadly missed.
We offer our condolences to Gwen, Dave, Paul and Andrew at this sad time.
Toodoloo old friend.
* Ray's funeral will be held Thursday July 25 at 2.00pm.
The venue is Tobin Brothers , 505 Princes Hwy ,Noble Park
Afterwards at Sandown Park Hotel
