Raymond Leonard (Growler) Abbots

I am new to this site, how sad but proud to see my old mate Ray Abbotts being eternally remembered through this site. I cannot believe it has been 25 years since his tragic death and 37 since he left us at 4 RTR. RIP, Ray you are still remembered for you Glass eating pranks in the Sqn bar
