He was born Jan. 11, 1934 at home in Morgan County to the late Jewel Glen and Reggie Lucille (Buis) Stringer.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers, Harold Eugene and Junior Leroy.

Ray and Judith were married in Greencastle on Sept. 4, 1955.

Our beloved father was a very hard worker, which included being a mechanic at Jim Harris (York) Chevrolet in Greencastle, Buis Feed Mill in Belle Union, driving a tractor/trailer in Florida, farming and enjoyed yard-work — he always had a beautiful yard — and wood-working — he loved making things.

His final resting will be at Glen Abbey Memorial Gardens in Auburndale, Fla., following a graveside services on Sunday, March 13 at 2 p.m., officiated by Pastor Mike.
