My thoughts are with the family Raf was a great guy who helped me out on a number of occasions.
RIP Raf – such a tragedy. My heart goes out to your family and you will be sadly missed by all those who knew you. One of life’s great characters. You were often Warrington’s 4th emergency service and never let me down.
What a sad loss, and under such tragic, needless circumstances. Raf was a true gentleman and the most honest mechanic I ever had the pleasure to know. My thoughts are with his family who must be devastated. RIP my friend
