When the family was living in Virginia (1985-1991) Ray enjoyed hunting and fishing. While Kay was at work, Ray and Tara had many opportunities to engage in many outdoor adventures. When the family returned to California Ray continued to enjoy these outdoor activities in Green Valley Lake where the family lived from 1991 until 2014 when they moved to LaHabra. Ray and his family also made many wonderful memories spending time by the ocean at his father’s ranch in Baja Mexico, Rancho Tampico.

A private memorial service will be held at a future date.
