He attended grade school at the Round Valley School House and high school at Sargent Public High School. Ray served his country during the time of the Korean War. He finished his basic training at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. The armistice was signed two days after he arrived in Arkansas. As a Private 1st class, he went for peace keeping on the front lines. He saw parts of Japan and Asia during his 18 month tour of duty in the United States Army. He returned from his military service to help on the family farm south west of Sargent. During a very dry year he sought work in Omaha, NE. He stayed with his Uncle Joe and Aunt Helen Woracek in the Millard NE. area, while working at Armors, and Wilsons Packing houses and Storz's and Falstaff Breweries. On many weekends he would drive his '54 Mercury back to Sargent to help on the family farm. He met his future wife, Clara Ann Windels, at a dance at Sokol Hall in Omaha.

In the mid-sixties, he returned to the Custer County area, living in Sargent, Arnold, and Callaway, before buying his father's farm in 1971 when James retired. After that time, Ray grew alfalfa, corn, wheat, soybeans, milo, and sunflowers. He also did custom farming for other farms in the area, cutting and baling hay. And he drove a semi-truck for a time delivering his own hay crop and working for L & L Transport in Sargent, NE. and Cherry Trucking in Ansley, NE.
