Ray was a V.I.P. Cyclist with the Sydney District HWP. His nickname was ‘Pin Head’ because the troops reckoned that he had the smallest Police hat at the time. Ray worked a lot around Manly and French’s Forest areas. Around 1990 – 1991, he had a fall from his Police Motor Cycle, in the Redfern area in heavy rain, which resulted in him going to hospital with a busted collar bone. Ray eventually left NSWPF and had attempted suicide on previous occasions leading up to his death. His death was discovered by his wife. His family blame the cause of his death upon the NSWPF and requested that no official representation of NSWPF be present at his funeral i.e. – no Police uniforms or Police vehicles. May Ray have found the peace that he sought and may his family and friends remember the good times with him.
