Tommy Ray was a son of Louise Hourigan and Tom O’Daniel of St. Mary’s, KY. He graduated from St. Charles High School in 1955 and in the same year purchased his cherished St. Mary’s farm. While he was a gentleman farmer, he worked a full career as a talented and creative tool and dye maker at Angel Manufacturing.
