Ray loved his family, and loved playing with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  He enjoyed cooking and entertaining, but above all else he loved to laugh and tell jokes.

A private ceremony will be held at Jacksonville National Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial donations be made to the American Cancer society.
