It is with heavy heart we announce Ray passed away peacefully with loved ones by his side. Ray is survived by his two children Helen and Bobby Ray Cain. He was a loving father figure to David Hair, Jaclyn Ellsworth, and Stacy McCraney, as well as a best friend to Ellen Ellsworth and Tim Grace. He has a host of family in New Mexico and California. Ray was an excellent mechanic and could fix anything you put in front of him. He was always there for you anytime you needed him.
