Ray was a man who embodied the essence of friendliness, thoughtfulness, and gentleness. His warm smile and kind words were a beacon of light to all who knew him. He was a man who understood the power of a simple act of kindness and the profound impact it could have on someone's day.

Ray's professional life was marked by hard work and dedication. He was a valued employee at Durakon in Lapeer for over a decade, where he brought his strong work ethic and positive attitude every day.
Beyond his work, Ray was a man of many interests. He found joy in the great outdoors, hunting in the quiet woods and appreciating the beauty of nature. His love for motorcycles and tractors was more than a hobby; it was a reflection of his adventurous spirit and his appreciation for the simple pleasures in life.
