Ray was deeply committed to his faith and church community. He was honored to be named one of the original twelve Eucharistic Ministers at Saint Calistus Church by Monsignor Peter Scannell. His dedication to service extended beyond the altar, as he served as Chairman of the Pastoral Services Program and President of the Parents’ Guild at St. Calistus School, roles through which he faithfully supported parish families and strengthened the church community.
In addition to his church involvement, Ray was an active and respected member of the Garden Grove Rotary International Club, where he served as president. He took great pride in his Rotary service, including many years of volunteering at the Rotary booth during the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival, reflecting his lifelong commitment to civic engagement and service to others.
