Ray had a passion for the open road and loved nothing more than riding his motorcycle.

He was equally content with a fishing pole in his hand, a pepsi, UDF coffee, and a cigarette.

Ray enjoyed listening to the sounds of classic rock, country music and a police scanner.

Above all Ray valued time spent with his family and friends, leaving behind a lifetime of

jokes, laughter, stories and unforgettable memories.
