Raymond "Raymie" Brown has been named among nine people killed by an explosion at a block of flats in St Helier on Saturday. The 71-year-old was named by the State of Jersey police following the devastating blast.
One tribute read: "Will be sadly missed, always made me laugh in anticipation of those punch lines and that laugh."
