Ray was a graphic artist and established the Glenn Advertising Agency. He founded Design House Art Store in Hamden and finished his career as a realtor. He was an extremely creative and giving person with an amazing sense of humor. He received many awards for his beautiful works of art and his writing. Ray enjoyed the beach, ice cream, travel, golf, skiing, playing cards, watching football, and UConn basketball. He treasured every moment and laugh with his lifelong friends. His greatest joy was spending time with his five grandchildren: Riley O'Connell, Brendan O'Connell, Jameson O'Connell, Callie Casulla and Liam Casulla.
