Ray entered into the working world of insurance with Allstate Insurance and finally retired with Mills Insurance Company in California. Upon retirement Ray followed his love of baseball and spent many hours watching his California Angels, but his real passion was skeet shooting. He would spend hours blasting those clay birds and loved every moment of it. In 2014 Ray decided to move back to Tennessee from California. With his wife, one gray cat “Dixie” and his best friend Dave he found his way to his new home in Murfreesboro.
