Ray grew up in Cypress River, Manitoba and was educated in Cypress River Elementary, Neelin High School in Brandon and Red River College in Winnipeg where he obtained his heavy diesel mechanics papers. He was employed by Renn Enterprizes in Winnipeg until he was forced to retire due to his disability and ill health. He loved his occupation and loved working on anything with motors and wheels. His greatest love though was his family and he considered all his friends as family also. Everyone was his buddy . His happy go lucky way, his laugh, helpfulness and consideration for others won the hearts of many. He always had a joke or a story to tell whether it was good or bad. He was an avid fisherman, loved boating, animals, travelling and camping and he loved talking to everyone wherever he went.
