It is with the deepest regret we announce the sad and untimely death of Ray Brown (Managing Director of the  County Durham Furniture Help Scheme – CDFHS). This occurred December 26th late evening at his home in Newton Aycliffe surrounded by his loving family, following a hard fight against a short and cruel illness. Ray was a loving Husband who was very passionate about family, life and CDFHS and is a great loss to those that knew him. R.I.P. Ray.
