After leaving the Navy he and his wife Fran raised their family in Piscataway, New Jersey. Ray started working at Midland Ross, in Edison New Jersey. While starting out on the floor as a sheet metal worker, his expertise, knowledge and work ethic quickly moved him into management positions. Midland Ross changed its name to Somerset Technologies and moved to Somerset New Jersey. He made the move to Elizabethtown, North Carolina with the Company when it went through a restructuring process. He retired in 1997 after 41 years of working at the same company.

Ray had many artistic talents. He was an advid reader and loved to cross stitch in the evenings. He excelled in jewelry design and making as well as woodworking.

You would find him working in his garage on one of his many projects. From intricate scroll saw pieces to a large hand craved wooden Indian he could do it all. He would gift many of his items to friends and neighbors.

A kind and generous man, his friendly face will forever be remembered and missed by his neighbors and friends.
