Raymond T. Hyland
June 29, 1952 to October 16, 2017
"No man stands so tall as when he stops to help a child."
Ray Hyland was a gentle giant, deeply committed to the kids at Holy Family. A member of the Holy Family Parish, Ray was a long-time parent, coach and volunteer in our CYO program. Ray was also a regular in the gym as a referee, where he had a reputation for not just making calls, but for talking to the kids on the court and trying to teach them the game. Ray was a kind giving friend, who will be missed. His spirit lives on, and his love of children is a constant reminder of why we're here... for the kids in our CYO program.
