To a generation of us from Castlerea who passed through London town in the 1980’s, you were a prince among men who made sure none of us were left with no place to stay, as we passed through. Yourself and Aidan and Rory O Flynn were generous and kind people. To you Ray I say you were one of a kind. To a full life well lived you were loved and respected by anyone fortunate to have known you. Deepest sympathy . Eamonn Quinn.
