Ray was a family man and loved his daughters and grandkids dearly.

Ray owned his own trucking company where he worked for many years driving his semi around the state. He retired so he could help take care of his grandkids. Each one of them had a special place in his heart.

Ray loved riding his Harley Davidson motorcycles. He enjoyed spending his summers at Elephant Butte Lake and going on trips to Las Vegas. When he wasn't riding, boating or visiting family in Vegas, you'd find him spending his time surrounded by his family and friends.
