I'm sorry to have to write this post. I cannot believe that one of my best friends Raphael Marino Ross passed away over the Christmas period. Just to let people know if anybody knows of Rafa. I met Rafa around 16 years ago. He popped into the quick and plenty cafe for a coffee Americano with 5 sugars. Not long after i reopened it after the loss of my mother. Rafa told me nice stories about my mum. He used to fancy her. From that day he came seven days a week for 16 years straight. you will be truly sorely missed by all. If any of his family see this post it would be nice if you could get in contact with me so that I know what has happened to a great friend and if there is a funeral we would love to attend.
