One thing he especially enjoyed was baking with them, using old family recipes dating back to the 19th century. He also loved making breakfast for them. Over the years, Ray led many Bible Studies at various churches. He was a member of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church in Patterson, and had also attended Marion Hill Christian & Missionary Alliance Church, Allegheny Center Alliance Church, and the former Geneva Reformed Presbyterian Church, where he had served as a Deacon.
