ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE

Exarchate of Parishes of Russian
Tradition in Western Europe

We are saddened to report the death of Ray White. He had been the Warden of our little chapel for many years and was an example of what a Church Warden should be. He was always most supportive of the parish priest and took his responsibility for the smooth running of services very seriously. He was active in the up-keep and cleaning of the building, which he had reconstructed  single-handedly.

Besides his Warden's duties, he was the server at Combe Martin. He will be sorely missed by everyone, especially the small children with whom he had a particular bond.

Ray leaves a widow, Scilla; daughters Ann, Sarah, Catherine, Tamara and Anna; grandchildren Ian, Angela, Alexander, Joseph, Natasha and Philip. His latest grandchild, Anna's first-born, is due next week.

May he rest in the glory of the risen Lord!
