It’s incredibly hard to believe that you are no longer with us. You were one of the kindest individuals I’ve had the privilege to know. Your expertise and unwavering support played a crucial role in the success of our project. You will be deeply missed, both as a colleague and as a person.

My heartfelt condolences to the family

Dear Ray,

a week has gone by and I'm still trying to come to terms what happened. I'm immensely sad and struggling to find the right words to express that. So instead, I’ll try to focus on thanking you for all the support you have given us, the care you showed for us and the trusting relationship you have developed with me. We shared more than one personal story of challenges life presents to us. I experienced you as an humble, kind and loving person. The way you talked about your family and especially Abby and Franco was always filled with an immense portion of love and care. I do hope that both Abby and Franco will hear lots of stories in the future of the great person you have been. Rest in peace and see you on the other side. Love Franz.

I will miss our chats and the chuckles. You were a pleasure to work with, always keen to learn new things, to understand. Your smile always came through in conversations.

Wishing Ray's family strength and love to get through these difficult times ahead.

I was in utter disbelief when I heard the news. I could not believe I would never again hear you laugh or have a chat. We may not have met in real life, but your warmth and easy-going manner was evident in our conversations. It always left me with a smile on my face which I will treasure. Your willingness to share and capacity to learn is such a credit to you and your legacy. You will be sorely missed.

May you rest in peace dearest Ray.

Deepest condolences to your family and I am so so very sorry for their loss.

I had known Sir Ray since T&S days (like 12 years ago) and he was really friendly to the whole buyer team. Then, he moved to aviation and ako parin un naging CP nila. He was very inclusive, always curious to learn, pati CP process inaaral niya. Kaya niloloko ko siya na mag try mag CP and then nangyari nga! Will miss the goodtimes Sir Ray - especially the hang outs after work. ikaw ang tunay na bottomless pit :) RIP

Thank you for being generous with your time and talent for our SC community, ensuring we are always safety compliant as well as supporting over and above the different social events we had.

You have left a void that will be hard to fill. Praying for peace for you and your loved ones Ray.

Ray,

It's still hard to believe one day you are here with us and the next day lost, at such a young age.

I will remember all our chats about travels, yummy foods and that in every moment you always had something positive or a story to share. Your humour, warmth and patience always shone through, as well as your dedication and love for your family.

Rest in peace.

"Need mo ng help?"

"Sabihin mo lang kung may need kang support."

'Yan talaga ang mga favorite mong sabihin every time you approach me. And even up to your last SC Manila community event, you made sure that everything under your scope is managed well. 🥹

I will always remember your kindness and the way you were always there, ready to lend a hand, Sir Ray. But beyond this, maraming salamat sa oras, lahat ng kwento, at pangaral. You don't know how much those have shaped my outlook in life.

Rest in peace, Sir. You will be missed. I'm sure you will keep watching over Ms. Abby & Franco 🙏

Your passing came as a shock and a great loss for HSSE. I didn't think that this is how you will leave the HSSE committee since you always had a passion for HSSE and you always kept us on our toes. Whenever we have HSSE updates for the committee, I always think about what you will ask because you just ask the right questions and you were a great asset to the team. I pray for comfort and peace for your family.

I remain lost for words even now. Such a nice and kind man, a respected and helpful colleague, a man for his family and his community. Ray's passing reminds me that life is short and precious.

Best wishes to Ray's family, friends, colleagues and community.

Godspeed Ray

Dear Ray,

You will surely be missed by Shell community! I am fortunate that I was able to work with you during planning sessions for PPIA activities. Your knowledge and guidance on HSSE have helped us navigate challenges on organizing community services in the past 2-3 years. I will miss your positivity and sharing of stories of learnings and life lessons. Thank you for everything!

Rest in peace, Ray! You are in God's grace!

Ray and Family,

Such an incredibly sad day where we have lost you so young. You were an inspiration to so many, loved by everyone and a true gentleman. You stood out from the crowd with your big kind heart and embracing positive attitude. Thank you for everything you did to support our team and deliver for our business. We will miss you my friend.

Rest in peace.

Ray, d pa rin ako makapaniwala. Last week lang itong photo na ito eh. Birthday treat mo ito samin. Kung alam ko lang, sana nag coffee pa tayo pagkatapos ng dinner. Matagal na tayo may connections, simula college, hanggang sa Shell T&S, Aviation at ngayon sa SBO SC, kaya nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos na mas nakilala kita, dahil isa kang tunay na kaibigan.

Ray, salamat sa lahat lahat. Salamat at lagi kang nandiyan. Salamat dahil lagi kang extra - sa trabaho man o sa pagkakaibigan.

Mamimiss ka namin, Ray. Wala ng pagala-gala sa office. Mamimiss ko yung random messages mo sa amin, Starbucks coffee chats natin, mga kwento, at mga payo.

Rest in peace, Ray.

Sir Ray was one of the first people I met and worked with during my first year in Shell, and I have learned so much from him both personally and professionally. His light-hearted banter, warm energy and helpful nature made it easy for me to feel at ease in my first role. He was always a source of joy and positive energy, with a presence that could instantly lift the mood of any room.

I am truly grateful to have known Sir Ray not just as a colleague, but also as a friend. I will miss going on coffee breaks with him, listening to his random anecdotes and life stories, and seeing him bring smiles and laughter to our community. Though our time together was short, I will always cherish the happy memories we shared.

Rest easy and thank you so much for everything, Sir Ray!

Sir Ray let me thank you for being so appreciative in all our efforts and for offering kape and friendship. Someone who would just say "kumusta ka" without conditions. Your morning presence and energy will surely be missed!

Hi, Sir Ray. I still can't believe that you're gone too soon. You're always that ray of sunshine who roamed around our halls, always imparting knowledge, experiences, and knows how to start the fun. You always knew what to say whether it's work-related or personal matters which helped me cope before in the challenges I experienced.

I'll always miss how you laughed everytime you mention that moment in our team outing.

Thank you for your love, kindness, guidance, and generosity. Rest easy Sir Ray, know that your beacon of light will continue to shine on.

I'm grateful to have Sir Ray as my onboarding buddy when I was a new hire in Shell. He helped me transition well into the culture and I learned a lot from him. He's always ready to help on your job-related concerns, career-related advice, or even by giving tips about being a good husband and father :D

He's a friend to everybody. His presence will surely be missed. I hope his legacy continues as we emulate his goodness to others.

Still can't believe it. Just a few weeks ago, nagaaya kang mag one bottle. If only I knew na yun na yung last aya mo, I would have joined you.

I won't forget all the advice you shared. Thank you for being all ears when I had problems. You're my kuya from another mother.

Rest easy kuya Ton.

Maraming salamat kasi nakilala ka namin.

Maraming salamat kasi nakakahawa ang presensya mo.

Maraming salamat kasi pinaparamdam mo na kasama kami.

Maraming salamat sa pag-aalaga mo sa komunidad.

Gone to soon but you will be remembered. Mamimiss ko ang office chats natin!

Ray, I'll always remember your advices and feedback when it comes to safety. You always had a different lens and a deep understanding when we talk about HSSE and Compliance. I learned a lot from you bai. salamat kaayo sa imong maayong tudlo ug maayong pagtrato. Kita ra ta puhon. ampingan nako ni sila diri, relax na dira. - Daryl

Dear Ray and family,

Unbelievable, too quick, why him, those were the words coming to my mind when I heard you left us. Over the past months working together I have really appreciated your way of working and your sense of humor. You were always there if I had a question or needed an explanation. But most of all you were a kind soul who's first priority was your family and this is something you do not encounter very often. Thanks for all the good and fun times we had together. Rest in peace.

Ray, still can't believe that you're gone and not just a "hello" message away.

Thank you for being so patient, kind and thoughtful to everyone around you and for all the wonderful conversations we had about food and life (mostly food). I feel blessed to have called you my friend.

I wish we could have shared a meal together in person, but know that I will be thinking of you fondly every time I eat a carbonara (the real version - with egg yolks).

Praying for the peace that surpasses all understanding for Abby and Franco, and that they will always remember how much you loved them. I hope that God has Euro Truck Simulator 2 pre-installed for you in your room up in heaven.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Hi Boss Ray,

Thank you for the random conversations and fun moments we shared. You are one of a kind! Your energy and enthusiasm radiates with everyone you talk to. That's why when we met, I knew you were one of the people I can talk to about anything and you were also willing to listen and share your thoughts. You were very reliable.

Rest easy Sir! I know you have touched so many lives. You are one of the legacies of Shell. You will always be remembered. Thank you!

-Imee

Ray, words cannot express how sad it was to hear about your passing.

Even though our connects were via MS Teams and never in person, you always felt part of the Logistics team family.

I never did get around to trying your famous strong beer, but could you save me a couple for when we meet in person?

We will miss your kind nature and willingness to help, no matter how big or small the request.

Rest in peace

Steve

Ray, though you may no longer be with us in person, your spirit lives on in our hearts and memories. We are deeply grateful for the time we shared and for the love, kindness, and dedication you gave to everyone on the team.

Your presence brought warmth, your actions inspired, and your legacy will continue to guide us.

Rest in peace, Ray. You will never be forgotten.

Ray,

Have been working with you for all the financial accounting for the PSVs over the last year and you had always been very thoughtful, diligent and helpful. You would always go above and beyond your normal duties and helped out with all my queries. We were chatting even last week and it appears unreal that you have been taken away so early and so suddenly. You will be sorely missed.

Thank you

Rest in peace!

- this was your usual greeting every time we meet in the office. Its still a complete shock for me to know that we would no longer see you. Hindi man po tayo magka team pero I could truly feel your concern to everyone - you were always trying to give a helping hand whenever you can, and you've always been a reliable person.

Maraming salamat sa mga naging kwentuhan natin, Sir Ray! <3

Nakakabigla! Wala na mag iikot ikot sa 22nd para makipagchikahan. Mababawasan na ng mga nang-aasar sa office. At wala ng magpaparaffle sa team outing hahaha.

You were a caring kuya, generous friend, and helpful colleague. We learned so much from you. You were a blessing to us and we're always grateful for you and to you.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Rest in peace!

Boss Ray!

When I heard you passed away, all I could think about was our last interaction - it was a week before I left for the US, and you were asking us to go out with you for drinks. If I had known you will be gone, I would have accepted the offer. I always thought there will be a next time.

Thank you for being generous not only to me but to everyone you know. You were always there to give a helping hand - may it be as big as work-related matters or as small as giving suggestions where to eat or drink or what model of monitors to buy. I hope you knew how grateful we are that we got to meet you, and that you got to touch our lives.

Ma-mimiss ka namin sa mga inuman Boss Ray! Pero sure ako mas masaya ang inuman diyan! Mag bottoms-up nalang tayo pag nagkita tayo ulit hehe. Cheers to you, Boss Ray, and to the wonderful life that you have lived. We'll miss you and please rest easy.

Makamiss ang istoryahanay nato every RTO bai. kung excited ka sa batch reunion. ako pud. nagsabot na ta ha. namiya man ka pero sige lang. You're in better place naman pud for sure kay buotan man ka.

I don’t think we ever exchanged a single word back in high school—we were in totally different circles. But I’m really glad we crossed paths in such an unexpected place like SBO. I’d heard stories about you from our mutual friends, and now I finally had a proper, meaningful conversation with you (sayang bitin lang), Legend! Salamat sa unselfish sharing sa imong knowledge about Logistics ug sa pagtabang sa event namo before for the safety compliance bai! - DQ

Hi Sir Ray,

How are you? Hoping you are doing good over there! I haven't properly said how grateful I am for having you as my friend. Our prayers will always be with you and your memories will always gonna be close to our hearts. Guide us while you're up there, Sir Ray!

Amping Sir Ray!

With all our many moments and adventures we've shared, there was never a dull moment with you. Thank you for those wonderful times Pards.

Please continue watching and guiding Abby and Franco from above. Rest in peace brother.
