Ray was cherished by family and friends, His friendly caring nature was appreciated by the people he met and befriended throughout his life. He held a deep affection for his pets. He was sensitive to the plights of others and often shared to meet their needs. Ray was an avid sports fan. Some have even said he was a sport's fanatic. He loved the Ram's and followed them throughout his life. Next to sports his favorite activity was planning exotic vacations. Any place he could find that the sun was shining he would park himself. In the latter days of his life you could find him sitting on the porch soaking up the rays. His love of the sun never ended.
