He married his high school sweetheart, attended Eureka College and Moody Bible Institute and finally decided on a career path with Caterpillar Tractor Co. as a Metallurgist. Scaling the ladder of responsibility included various levels of management and five years in Brazil. With his wife, Rose, they raised a family of three great kids who also share an appreciation for outdoor activities, as well as a wide variety of other interests. In 2018, Ray received the Music & Drama Community Service to the Arts Award for his contributions of music, and of art, by way of the many hand carved wooden signs which he made for the Bear and Wolf centers and various businesses in Ely. Perhaps, his greatest contribution was his 25 years of leadership in planning the annual community Thanksgathering program.view less
