WWII U.S. Army Veteran, Amoco Service Station Business Owner, avid fisherman, and past member of Dalewood Baptist Church might all be titles used to describe who Ray was to those who knew him, but his family will always remember him as a generous and kind Christian man who loved to do for others with no expectations in return. He will be deeply missed.
