Portrait of Tio Pakusadewo Remembers the Late Ray Sahetapy, a Figure Full of Love and Sacrifice

The passing of senior actor Ray Sahetapy leaves a deep sorrow for his friend, Tio Pakusadewo. For Tio, Ray was not just a fellow actor, but also a figure full of love and sacrifice. When met at the Sentosa Block C funeral home on Wednesday (2/4/2025), Tio expressed that he learned about this sad news from the community of fellow senior actors.

"We have a community called seniors, everyone is there, so any news regarding one of us is shared there. Not just death, anything is shared there," said Tio.

One of the most memorable moments for Tio is when Ray became the only person who accompanied him during a difficult time in 2017 or 2018.

"I wanted to be transferred from the police to rehab, and Ray came, and only Ray came. I can't forget that. When I was in rehab, many people came, but the one who accompanied me through the process from the police to rehab was Ray Sahetapy," he recalled.

Not only that, Ray also played a significant role in Tio's life. One unforgettable memory is when Ray bought the film script he wrote, to help with Tio's wedding preparations.

"I said, 'It seems like I have to get married soon, at most in a month. But I don’t have any money. But I have a script, do you want to buy it?'. 'Alright, I’ll buy it,' he bought it right away. The price was IDR 20 million, and that money was used for wedding preparations and dowry," he revealed.

"Ray had a great love for national films, for this country. He always talked about the archipelago. Until finally the archipelago was hurt, love left him. In the final turn, he had to accept that his strength was gone," he concluded.
