Ray was famous for being one of the surviving "Atomic Soldiers" during nuclear bob testing in Nevada. Ray was an avid collector of rocks, gems and artifacts.

He loved the Sun River Country. Every chance he could, he would bundle the family in the car for a trip to the cabin. He would bounce up the gravel road along the Sun River, past Castle Reef and Sawtooth, turning up the forest service road at Gibson Dam to Beaver Creek. He loved to fish the cold mountain stream and hike the mountains there.
