Ray was preceded in death by hjis parents, Robert and Dula; his wife of more than 70 years, Opal; and his granddaughter, Rheanne. He is survived by his twin brother, Roy; son, Donalde; his grandchildren, David and Lexi; his great-grandchildren, April, Sabrina, Brad Renee’, Mazie and Travis; and many great-great-grandchildren.
