A lifelong area resident, Ray attended local schools and went on to graduate from Bryant University. He served proudly in the United States Army from 1945 until 1946. For over 38 years he was employed as an accountant for Mohasco Industries until his retirement.

He was also a member of the Bigelow Weavers Club and a member of Amsterdam Municipal Golf Course, where he achieved a hole-in-one on the 16th hole. One of his greatest joys was attending his grandsons' sporting events and performances.
