Ray was one of the children of the Lost Empire shipped to Australia under the Catholic Church Scheme. He never knew he had family in Ireland. They were put to work, for Ray it was slave labour. No child should have such a terrible life. He was a wonderful father and husband.

  • This one of Ray is when we were dating in 1967-68. He had such a zest for life. He was tragically killed in a mine accident on 10/07/1997
