The iconic scriptwriter died last night after a 'long and heartbreaking battle with dementia'.
His family released a statement saying: 'Ray passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family.
'We respectfully request there are no attempts to contact the Galton family home at this time.'
His manager Tessa Le Bars said: 'I have had the great honour of working with Ray for over 50 years and for the last 40 as his manager and friend.
'With his lifelong co-writer, the late Alan Simpson, they were regarded as the fathers and creators of British sitcom.
Mr Galton's family said the script writer died following a long battle with dementia
'The end of an iconic era, but the legacy of Hancock's Half Hour, Steptoe and Son and over 600 scripts is huge.
'They will endure, inspire and bring laughter to the nation for evermore.'
The pair met at Milford Sanatorium in Surrey when both were diagnosed with tuberculosis as teenagers.
As well as work with Tony Hancock and Steptoe actors Harry H Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell, they wrote television, film and stage scripts for the likes of Frankie Howerd, Peter Sellers, Leonard Rossiter and Arthur Lowe.
Their work is still screened regularly around the world in English and in foreign language versions.
Steptoe and Son was adapted for US TV as Sanford and Son and ran for several years in the 1970s on NBC.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
