Statement by the Bishop of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory on the death of Mr Philip Gray, former Headmaster of Kilkenny College
The news of the death of Mr Philip Gray, former Headmaster of Kilkenny College, will be met with great sadness by many people across the Diocese. Philip had a long and distinguished career as a history teacher in King’s Hospital before his appointment to Kilkenny College in 2005. Unfortunately, a serious cycling accident in 2008 resulted in his resignation as Headmaster on health grounds. The school will be paying its own tribute; however I take this opportunity as Bishop, on behalf of the Diocese, to extend our very sincere sympathy to his wife Sandra, who has cared for him so devotedly since his accident and to their children Glen, Stephen and Laura at this sad time.
