With family and career his priorities, Ray's kind gentle nature was apparent throughout his life's journey. Loving to work with wood, his parting gift to his babies was two beautiful rocking horses. In his younger years, he loved to hunt and fish with Dad, Glen, U. Walter, Tim; friends Terry, Ken and Andy. In later years Ray and Terry spent many hours metal detecting, searching for that rare coin. He loved music, playing his guitar, reading and most of all helping and being with his family.
