Ray was a 1955 graduate of McClure High School, where he participated in sports. Ray’s passion was in the art of music where he was involved in many choruses and sang Bass in the quartets. An additional love was playing his trumpet, Ray played with a trumpet trio which received State recognition. He also enjoyed playing hymns on his trumpet in several churches.

Early in his life, Ray delivered the Sunbury Daily Item and worked with his father doing custodial work at the McClure Fire Company and Mount Bethel Church, McClure. He was a 1959 graduate of Lock Haven State College where he majored in education. Ray’s career in teaching began in McConnellsburg, and later taught at the New Berlin Elementary School, where he fulfilled the role of principal. He transferred to the Mifflinburg Middle School where he taught math and social studies. During his 34 years of teaching, Ray also drove school bus for the Mifflinburg Area School District.

Ray was active in the New Berlin Community. He held positions on the town council and volunteered for the New Berlin Fire Company as a first responder for Emergency Medical Services.

After retirement from teaching, he and his wife spent 14 winters in Florida doing missionary work at the Shiloh Youth Ranch.

Ray was a member of the Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, Lewisburg. His faith was especially important to him. He demonstrated this by the way he lived and shared his faith with his family.
