He was one of thirteen children born to William Jiles RAY and Amy Virginia HARRIS. He was a short stout man with a stubborn, but steady temperament who always set goals, kept promises, and did things 'by the books' (even though he could read very little). He married a school teacher named Helen STEPHENSON in 1935. The fruit of this union blessed him with three daughters and nine grandchildren. He earned the respect of three sons-in-law, and became a mentor and good friend to many other virtual sons who he hired to help him with various tasks around the farm. The 10 am coffee or afternoon lunch breaks in the field with grandpa were a daily ritual that every grandchild looked forward to.
