He loved bowling with his wife, Sharon, and many friends for years. He loved traveling to the casino with Sharon to play the slot machines. Ray was an avid Yankees fan but would watch any baseball team because he loved baseball so much. He enjoyed taking trips with his family in earlier years and was able to have many wonderful experiences.
