“I was pretty good mates with Ray, he was one of my fishing buddies. It was pretty tough, his passing. It’s usually next weekend we go fishing actually, the long weekend in June,” Irwin said.
“I remember one time he had looked at the forecast [before we went fishing], he’d gone out and got me a hot water bottle and got that all ready for me and I didn’t even know about it. Just little things like that.
“He was just a really good bloke, always thinking about other people, loved his fishing. It was probably a bit harder for him to get out fishing when his wife came down with dementia, you could see that take a toll on him.
“Even then, he still wanted to try and do everything for everyone when realistically everyone should have been trying to help him out. I suppose that describes the man.
“If there were more Ray’s in the world, the world would be a far better place.”
