Enjoying their motor home, towing their joy - a Can- Am Spider touring 3 wheel motorcycle and wintering in San Felipe Mexico .
Ray is now pain free resting with his parents and much loved sisters Evelyn Hook and Eileen Brundige, who, like Ray left us far too soon.
He is survived by his wife Rose, his two sons Jeffrey W., and Bradley D.
