Ray was an avid woodworker/carpenter and a general “fix-it man”. He loved to fish and dedicated his time to working with and supporting the Southeastern Paralyzed Veterans Association. He was always willing to give his time and efforts to others.

Ray was an extremely loved man, who took in many additional “bonus children”. He was blessed in all. He truly leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter.
