In 2006, Ray moved from the Ogema farm to Mahnomen Blue Sky, where he made his home until the time of his death. Ray loved to garden and canned the vegetables that they grew. He also enjoyed making homemade sausage. Some of his favorite things to do were, visiting old neighbors, he always had a smile and a wave for them, and was eager to help if they had farm work to do. Ray always enjoyed a good cup of coffee and his trips to the Red Apple. He would often take van rides to the Amish store to buy good homemade items and visit with them and just driving around looking at the farm country and the big machinery. Raymond was a member of St. Benedict's Catholic Church in White Earth, MN.
