His family moved to Oklahoma, three and one half miles from Vinson, when he was an infant. During World War I, he served in the Navy and was based in San Diego. Upon returning, he resumed farming and ranching with his father. After Lillie and Ray married, they first lived with his parents, later moving to Blair in Jackson County. Ray, along with his brothers Forrest and Henry, opened a Ford auto agency and a general store. They later moved back to Vinson, and resumed farming and ranching with Ray's father. After his father died, they bought a motel in Elk City.
