Losing Ray




​



​by Sydney Pead


​
In July this year, a man called Ray Speechley  went missing from his nursing home in Dalmeny on the News South Wales Far South Coast. 

He clambered over two fences like a prisoner escaping jail. He hasn’t been seen since. Ray had dementia. His wife, Jan, said she could handle losing Ray to dementia. But she couldn’t handle losing Ray like this.
