Ray enjoyed travelling throughout the island in his Black Trans Am with the gold trim, or riding his skidoo in the back country.

Ray’s circle of friends continued to grow after his cancer diagnosis, including the doctors and nurses at the Bliss Murphy Cancer Center and the nurses at the JPMH, all of whom shared a great admiration and respect for his strength and determination in his fight against this terrible disease.
