Ray Curley Good Man Air Force Man

"He was a good man,
and an Air Force Man:"
Lorraine Curley
Ray's wife just after his honor burial ceremony at Arlington Cemetery in 2011.

Here are some photos of of my quiet professional uncle Ray Curley of his life from Philadelphia to the Cold War and Vietnam War Southeast Asia. 

My MIA 1st Lt. Uncle Frank Joseph Curley was his oldest brother. 

Ray was quiet, very quiet, back in a time when American military intelligence officers knew how to keep a secret. And he was a good man, and an Air Force man as Lorraine Curley said so well. She is now with him at Arlington...and in Heaven.

In loving memory. 

Raymond John Curley.
