He is preceded in death by his mother, Norma, stepmother, Hazel, Father Jim, and brother Larry. He is survived by his sister, Beverly, and the adopted family of the Caldwells.
Ray also leaves behind many friends, including Bill and Steve Sheldon and their families, the pit crew of the old "02" stock car and their families, including "Dr Cathy" and a few cousins that are scattered around still.
