During World War II, he dutifully served in the US Army Air Corp, was a part of the first wave at Utah Beach and received the Bronze Star for his actions. The youngest to receive his state contractor's license in CA, Ray worked as a building contractor in San Francisco utilizing his "hillside magic" constructing buildings that stand rock solid today.
