Wie in 1993 de Eerste Europese Conventie in Kerkrade heeft bijgewoond, weet wie Simon Woof en Ray Saunders zijn. Zij gaven daar een perfecte opvoering van The Driver’s License<\/em> sketch voor een enthousiast publiek, dat minutenlang applaudiseerde.<\/p>\n Het spijt ons te moeten meedelen dat Ray Saunders, de man die Ollie speelde,\u00a0 op 5 juli is overleden.<\/p>\n We laten hier de tekst volgen die A.J. Marriot op Facebook heeft geplaatst. “It is with deep sadness that I have to report the death of the multi-talented Ray \u201cOLLIE\u201d Saunders, who passed away on Tuesday 5th July. Ray was first brought to the notice of members of the \u2018Sons of the Desert\u2019 when he performed at the Stan Laurel Centenary Convention, in Blackpool in 1990 \u2013 in front of special guest Lord Delfont \u2013 the man who had brought the \u2018real\u2019 Laurel & Hardy to Britain in 1947. Along with partner Simon Wooff, Ray was also a guest at Helpmates Conventions, where they did the dance to \u201cAt the Ball \u2013 That\u2019s All\u201d in perfect synchronicity with the film clip being projected behind them. At the 1992 European Convention in Rolduc, the multi-national packed audience were treated to the full version of \u201cThe Driver\u2019s Licence\u201d sketch, plus the song \u201cShine on Harvest Moon,\u201d for which they rightly gave \u2018Ray & Simon\u2019 a well-deserved 5-minute standing ovation. Other of Ray\u2019s highlights include TWICE being requested, to do TV sketches with Roy Castle as Stan. He leaves behind a widow, Sheila, two daughters, and a lot of happy memories.”<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wie in 1993 de Eerste Europese Conventie in Kerkrade heeft bijgewoond, weet wie Simon Woof en Ray Saunders zijn.
