Mr Breck spent years helping others, now he needs a hand
RAYMOND Breckenridge is a long standing resident of Suffolk Park.
Most people know him as Mr Breck, a retired maths teacher of Byron Bay High School. To us he is Pa.
Ray is an active member of the community to this day and involved regularly with the Byron Bay Bowls Club.

His late wife Valerie Breckenridge (Dare) was also a highly respected and active member of the community involved in the Lions Club, Pink Ladies, and Women's Bowls.
We lost Val to motor neurone disease and my Pa lost the love of his life.
He cared for and supported my Nan while she lost the ability to move, swallow, speak and eventually breathe.
She passed away in the loving arms of her husband in their Suffolk Park home.
Ray and Val gave so much to their community, and their family meant everything.
Now it is our turn to give back.
We have organised a surprise working bee on Friday May 22 at his Suffolk Park home between 12pm - 4pm. A sausage sizzle will be provided.
