Most of my memories of him are set in his garden where we grew fruit, veggies and flowers. He was always giving us tips on how to grow different plants and offering us cuttings and seedlings so we could grow our own at home. I especially remember his beautiful roses, I used to walk around those gardens as a kid imagining what my gardens would look like someday. Relph celebrated his 92nd Birthday in Waikato Hospital and sadly passed away a few short day later on the 21st November 2007 in Hospital. He was survived by his wife Flora, his five children and his many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren Public - Samantha Louise - Direct descendant - 1 January 2017 - personal account/ knowledge Read more Death About death Contribute › Death21 November 2007 AWMM Age 92 AWMM Hamilton, Waikato AWMM Date of death Age at death Place of death Cause of death Death notes Cemetery Cemetery name Grave reference ObituaryDeath Notice: New Zealand Herald, 21 November 2007Death Notice: New Zealand Herald, 23 November 2007 AWMM Memorial name Memorial reference Memorials Memorial Contribute › Memorial name Roll of Honour Remember Ralph Bray by laying a poppy.
