Ray was a proud and loving uncle and grandfather of many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.

Ray spent his life refusing to fit into any category. He had jobs in multiple industries, and spent many years as an entrepreneur. He spent much of his life as a bar owner, beginning with the Re-Lay Station, and finally ending with Ray's Lounge. On the side, he owned RNR Business Consulting, and assisted many small business owners on the road to fulfilling their dreams. In his later years he became very involved in the ESGR, Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve. His other great love in his retirement was the Tyler Street Church and the Hot Dog Ministry. He was a man of great faith and great ideas, and never lost his passion for learning, teaching, and giving to others.
