Ray was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and served in the Navy Construction Battalion in the Vietnam War. He married Priscilla over 53 years ago and they later settled in Rochester, NY where he worked at Kodak for over 30 years.

Ray was a loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother and Friend. He will be missed dearly. He had such a love for life and adventure. He was happiest when he was out on his boat, camping, biking, or working on a project. But most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family- being together, doing something fun, or watching a sunrise or sunset. He will forever be in our hearts and we are so grateful for the wonderful memories we shared with him.
