Early lifeFrederick Dent Ray was born in Southwark, London, England on June 20, 1879. He was the son of Charles Adolphus Hopson Ray (1847-1913) and Sarah Newport (1848-1919). In 1908, he was married in Berkshire to Annie Beatrice Burt (b.1855) and they remained childless. Aboard TitanicAged 32, Ray boarded the RMS Titanic on April 10, 1912 as a first-class saloon steward for a monthly wage of £3 15c after being redirected from the ship RMS Olympic. On Sunday 14, 1912 his shift ended in 9 pm and he went to room 3 on E-deck where he slept with 27 others. Awaken by the collision, he first thought it was a problem in the engine room, and began to drift back to sleep when 2 stewards arrived to tell people to prepare and go to the lifeboats. After assisting recalcitrant passengers into Lifeboats 9 and 11, Mr. Ray boarded the half-full Lifeboat 13. As the boat was lowered into the water, a wrapped infant was tossed down to Ray, who caught the child and brought it to safety. Ray survived the sinking and made it to the ship RMS Carpathia. He returned home to his wife, who was in North Wales for recuperation from ill health. Later lifeFrederick's wife Anna died in 1952. He was remarried a few months later to Rose Mary Ray, née Lawrence (b. 4 December 1890). They spent some time in Maidstone, Kent, before settling in Billericay, Wessex, where he would spent the rest of his life. DeathFrederick died in Basildon Hospital on 15 January 1977 following complications from fracturing his hip and was later cremated. Aged 97 years, 6 months and 26 days, he became the longest living among the surviving crew and his death left only two remaining crewmen, Frank Prentice and Sidney Daniels. References
