While in school, Ray’s nickname was “Boone,” which is his son and grandsons middle name. He loved sports; he played basketball during high school and while in the U.S. Air Force after joining in 1958. While in the Air Force, he served during the Berlin Crisis but enjoyed the time he spent serving in Spain the most. Ray married the love of his life, Ann Nuttall, on November 29, 2003. He was devoted to her and loved his children and grandchildren dearly. One of Ray’s favorite things to do was playing golf. He played daily and enjoyed all of his golf buddies.
