He went on to work for a number of law enforcement agencies including the OSBI, Moore Police Department, Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, CLEET, the Oklahoma City Police Department, the Highway Patrol and the Department of Public Safety.

Ray and I worked together at OSBI in the identification unit and in the field conducting CSI.

We had a lot of fun on and off the job; and Ray enjoyed coaching boys sports events after work.

May the Peace of the Lord be with Ray´s family.

I first met Ray when I was a young police explorer at MPD. He was a genuine good man. We spent a lot of Saturdays together at the OU games in the 70's. I have a great deal of respect for him and know that he was an honorable man, and a good cop! May he now rest from his labors. May God bless his family.

Ray and I served together as Police Officers and as Soldiers in the Army as we were on the same MP team. He was second to none in both. Ray was very gifted, professional, and dependable, as you could always count on him to have your six covered. You were one fine Lawman, Soldier, and Friend. Of the troops, and for the troops, that was you! Rest in peace Brother.

Ray was an inspirational co-worker and a great friend. We shared many moments together working OKC 89er baseball games. He was always positive about life, even through his ordeal with cancer, and I will miss him. Rest in God's Peace my friend.
