He was preceded in death by his beloved spouse, Peggy, with whom he spent over 60 beautiful years as husband and wife.

After retiring from active duty, Ray worked as a procurement specialist within the Office of the Secretary of the Army. He then became a business consultant to both private industry and governmental agencies upon his second retirement as a civil servant.
