Legendary man, almost my 2nd Dad growing up, great memories at Coongulla and cricket on the front lawn at Wallace st….I was busy batting until the the girls walked past, the dining window opened and Mr. Linton reminded me very sternly to keep my eye on the ball….RIP Ray and thank you for being there as we all grew up, a truly great man.

Condolences to Bernice and all the Linton family, RIP Ray, a truly unique and wonderful man who will be missed

“Get IN the car Ray!”
Love you forever, your wife Bernie x

Farewell to a good and true man who was generous and kind. He lived by labor principles of working hard, of decency and fairness, the importance of community, and supporting others who were less advantaged . His family was everything to him, and I was privileged to be part of that family. Meena.
(Maree and family)

Sincere condolences to Bernice and family. Ray was a much loved neighbour and friend of the Malek family. Barbara and Ed and their families remember Ray and his many kindnesses over a lifetime ….

Dad, I was born on your first wedding anniversary and you always complained that you got me instead of cake like your mates !!
We know you will be watching over us, especially your darling Berni . Please help us continue on without you.
You are my dad and I love you so much.
Rest now dad your work is done.

Remembering a great family and community man.
Jenny and Alan McFarlane

Deepest condolences to Bernie and the Linton family on the passing of Ray. A loved Husband, Dad and Pa he was a pillar of the Community and all round great bloke who always had a smile. He will be sadly missed.
God took the best ones that morning.

What a warm , funny and loving man he was. He made an impact on me as a child, that’s for sure. I remember thinking I had never met a grown up before, who was more like a kid… Always smiling and laughing and joking, and yes, poking in the ribs! He was always good to all of us kids. No one loved kids more than Ray!
Loving memories from ALL the Missen family.

Sincere condolences to you all. The memories we all have with your family and the old Coongulla days will never be forgotten. Ray was always full of life and smiles. When ever he saw us he would ask Kerry “how do you put up with her “ lol. It was always special to bump into Ray.
He will never be forgotten. Love to all the Lintons and a big hug to Bernice love Debbie, Kerry and the Graham family

Ray, you were a great organiser, if you thought something needed doing you made sure it happened, generally some family/community project. We have fond memories of times together with Sacred Heart Tennis Club and especially at Coongulla, having too many Frontenac wines late in the night comes to mind. You will be sadly missed. Condolences to Bernice and family.
Joe Deguara and family

To a friendship that has spanned 60 years. Many long lasting and cherished memories that will live with us forever. Family times spent together at Coongulla and our many holidays amongst some of our fondest. We are grateful for the influence you have had on life changing decisions, like the opportunity to take over a business and move our family to Heyfield. For these moments and many, many more, we thank you and are forever grateful for the times we got to spend together. Sending our sincere condolences and love to Berni, the kids and to the whole Linton family.

Fond memories of a fun loving gentleman who always had time for everyone. Love to all Linton’s and McWalter’s families.

Having a beer with Kel I hope!

Cheerio Ray. You were larger than life and a much respected and loved friend of the Marsiglio family. Sacred Heart Tennis Club, Coongulla fun and games and of course the Safaris, how good was that! Sincere condolences to Bernice and all the Linton families. RIP Ray xx

Lots of fond memories as kids (especially from Glenmaggie), always full of life and up for a yak. Not sure what the criteria is for being a God Father but as far as Im concerned you ticked all the boxes and more.

Im sure your already enjoying a few well earned beers with Dad !

Go with our Love

Our heartfelt condolences to Bernice and the whole Linton family on the passing of Ray. When we look around the township of Yinnar, we can see the enormous legacy that Ray leaves behind. His tireless work for his community and the love and pride he had for his family is how we will remember Ray. A true gentleman. Rest in peace Ray.

Ray – A local legend, a wonderful husband and father, a genuine gentleman and a great community leader. His personality, friendship, love for others and his humour will be sadly missed by so many. RIP to a very special man. Our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to Bernice and all the Linton family. Geoff and Carole Bennett xx

Condolences to the Linton family at this difficult time.

Always a greeting smile for me, Ray, true to his name, was a ray of sunshine. His light still shining through the Linton family.

Fond memories of our long time together when we worked with each other at the SEC ,
and in your retirement.
Condolences to Bernice and all the Linton Families.
Rest in Peace Ray

My sincere condolences to Bernice and the entire Linton family.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and getting to know Ray and Bernice later in my life due to my beautiful parents joining the crew on the “ Ray Linton Bus Adventures”.
The stories and talks after each trip away made my heart sing because of the joy and fun that they both experienced. Those bus holidays were always so looked forward to and talked about by both of them.
Needless to say Jimmy’s (dad) anecdotes after trips were so very different to Robyn’s (mum)
What can I say? Only…
Birds Of a Feather…..
Rest In Peace Ray , such a charming and vivacious soul .
Michelle (Morris) Di Fabrizio

Ray, yourself and Bernice, many memories from Yinnar post office days, your service to the community, your friendly cheeky nature, always helpful.
Recent times have been a struggle, but a lifetime of good memories made.
Condolences to Bernice and all of the Linton Family.
So much to be proud of.
Rest in peace Ray, a wonderful man.

John, Cath, Bernice and all the Linton family. Condolences to you all. We joined your celebration on livestream . What a joy to be part of. We’ve lost a wonderful community man but he lives on in his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. What a great life he lived.
Glenda & Pat Lawless & family
