Ray proudly served his country 22 years in both the Army and the Air Force.

This resulted in their favorite place to visit was the beach.   After his assignment in Europe, they returned to States and began their family.  Later in life, he worked in the Overton Brooks VA Medical Center in Supply.  Once he retired for good, Ray and Renee moved to Texas to be close to the water.
