Ray attended Munhall High School together with his future wife Carol Kinevey who he married in 1959. Ray played football at Munhall HS and was awarded a football scholarship to Westminster College, where he played on two undefeated teams. Ray moved his family to Memphis and later to Dallas. The family moved back to the area in 1974 and settled in North Huntingdon where he started Pittsburgh's Interstate Battery franchise. Ray and Carol later lived in Aspinwall and eventually moved to Allison Park. He was an avid Steelers fan who loved sharing good times with his family and friends. Ray was a friend to everyone and had a great sense of humor and wit -- even in his final days. He will be dearly missed.
