After high school, Ray worked on the Garrison Dam; with all his extra shifts he was able to save enough money for a new car. Ray then joined the United States Air Force in October 1951. During the Korean war he was stationed at a base in Germany where he was an airplane mechanic. During Ray's deployment he met the love of his life, Margarete M. Morcinek, who worked on the base where he was stationed. They married on May 26, 1955 in the base chapel.

Ray and Margarete later returned to Emmons County after he was discharged in 1956, where they farmed and ranched east of Linton and raised their 5 children. In 1990 they moved to Linton.
