Ray K. Haley

Ray was born in League City, Texas and moved to Houston in the early 1950s. He was a 1944 graduate of Nacogdoches High School and then served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Ray received his Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Engineering from the University of Texas in 1951 and later began his career at Williams Brothers Construction Company, Inc. where he worked for 40 years and met his lifelong friend, Doug Pitcock. During that time, he was an integral part of the company – designing, estimating, and planning, as well as sharing his passion for bridge building while mentoring many co-workers along the way.

Ray is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Elsie, and children Ed and wife Betty, Karen, Ray, Jr. and wife, Jennifer, grandchildren Rob, Sarah, Logan and Cody.

Ray will forever be remembered for his honesty, integrity, loyalty and kindness to others. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend and respected by all. Ray was a member of St. Stephens United Methodist Church and was active with the community civic association. The family wishes to convey their sincere thanks to faithful care providers Charlene, Jennifer and the staff of Houston Hospice.
