Ray was born on December 26, 1932, in Bridgeport, CT to Raymond and Grace June. After high school, Ray joined the U.S. Navy and served for four years. He attended college at Pace University, and started his career in real estate.
Ray met his wife Mary Ann on the tennis courts in Greenwich, Connecticut. From that moment on, they were together for 56 years of marriage, raising their family in Congers, New York.
Anyone who knew Ray, spent time watching sports with him, with the New York Yankees, Giants, Rangers and Knicks being his favorite teams. He stuck by those teams through all the ups and downs over the years. Ray loved going to New York City with his wife to see Broadway shows and visit some of their favorite restaurants. He rarely missed one of his children’s many sports games, creating a collection of newspaper clippings whenever one was mentioned. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, preparing them to become the next New York sports fans.
Ray leaves behind his wife of 56 years, Mary Ann; son David and daughter-in-law Susan; son Jeffrey and daughter-in-law Patty; daughter Suzanne and son-in-law Daniel; and his seven grandchildren: Ashleigh, Brendan, Ella, Dylan, Sydney, Lily and Andrew.
