Ray worked for McDonnell-Douglas for 44 years as a final inspector for numerous aircraft.  He also worked on the Skylab at Kennedy Space Center. After retirement, Ray would "tinker" and work around the house. He was a superb handyman that could fix just about anything and enjoyed doing it.  Even though Ray was 91 years old he remained very active and enjoyed being outdoors. Most importantly Ray loved spending time with his family. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
