They later moved to a farm in Gervais Oregon. On this farm his mom taught him to cook, can and bake the best bread ever. His mom also taught him you stand up for family right, wrong or indifferent blood backs blood.

Ray was a big guy with an even bigger heart who left us too soon. He had an infections laugh,he would joke and crack himself up all the time. He loved going to the coast having oyster stew at Moe's and spending time with his sister Linda he even knew exactly how many miles it was from his driveway to hers. His tireless love for his family was evident right through the end. Dad always told me death is harder on the living,I had no idea how painfully true that is. We love you and miss you every day.
