Ray enjoyed many summers with family vacationing on Lake Boone in Hudson and various spots in New Hampshire and Maine. Ray and Sue once cruised to Bermuda and took an extended trip to FL but Ray was happiest spending time at his home, putting around his yard, sitting on his patio and enjoying his pool with his family and friends in summer.
