At 18 years old, Ray enlisted himself in the U.S. Navy. Two days after his enlistment, he received his Army draft notice for the Veitnam War.

Throughout the years, TRL grew to become one of the largest maritime training centers in the nation.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, USC Trojans, coins, M&M collectiables, and more than anything, his family were all things he had a great passion and love for.

Ray had a heart of gold. He did everything he could for his family and friends. He will forever be in our hearts.
