Ray enjoyed many adventurous hobbies in his life including diving, photography and many miles on his Harley motorcycles. He loved spending time with family and friends and could be called upon at any time for help or sage advice. His boisterous laugh and stories will be remembered by all that heard them. He grew up in Wild Peach when the Peach was still wild. Brigance road and others in Wild Peach witnessed many of Ray's antics as a boy. He then started his family there continuing the legacy. Ray lived around the Brazoria area before building his dream home on the San Benard River.

Grandchildren Aralynn, Adalynn, Calysta, Finn, Lyla Gallager and Julian and Camila Carrillo.
Ray started his career at Dow as a pipefitter at the young age of 18 in 1974 until the mid 90's. He then tried his hand at drafting before joining his sons in the Instrument Tech field until he decided that life on the road was not for him and Ramona.
