Over the years, he had been employed as a wrecker driver, body shop mechanic and auto electrician for a variety of businesses including Earl's Garage and Ames Auto Electric. He retired in 1990, after 30 years of working for the Iowa DOT. Ray enjoyed boating, camping, auto racing and, although the family didn't have a lot, he always gave his kids camping trip vacations. Those adventures to Minnesota and Arkansas were the highlight of the kids' lives and they have very fond memories of their dad.
