Obituary for Earl Bennett Ray
Earl B. Ray, 95, passed away peacefully on Sept. 6, 2019. He is survived by children: David (Jean Peters), Linda, and Michael (Adriana) Ray; and grandsons, Andrew, Christopher and John.

Earl was devoted to his Lord, his church and his family. He was a career U.S. Postal Service worker, and a veteran of WWII. He loved his hobbies of roller skating and country dancing – where he was often mistaken for a much younger man tripping the light fantastic.
