A hard working dad and devoted husband took his own life after hiding his medication from his wife.
Ray Betts had a "perfect life" before his death last year and owned his own commercial property business. The 50-year-old was described as being "everybody's best mate", and leaves behind wife Andrea, 51, daughter Olivia, 25, son Jay, 17, and Olivia's partner Tom, 26.
Ray's wife Andrea told the ECHO: "It happened completely out of the blue. He had recently had skin cancer removed from his face, which left a scar, and they told him that could come back - so he was worried about that, but that is as far as it got, from what I knew.
