Ray the Leader and Mentor
In recent years Ray has taken it upon himself to become more involved in mentoring new members and getting them involved in committee work as well as encouraging them and supporting them as they take leadership roles in the club. Not only is his own leadership role helping to make a positive impact today, but through his mentoring role, he is preparing the Lions' leaders of tomorrow.
Ray the Family Man and Friend
Ray's wife Lion Judy is a dedicated member of the South Attleboro Village Lions Club and has held numerous positions in the club and at district level. Together, they are a formidable team and have contributed much to our local community. We are proud to call them fellow Lions, and most importantly, to call them our friends.
Ray and Judy have two children, Matt and Kim, and one grandchild, Liam. In June 2006, both Lion Ray and Lion Judy retired from teaching and had the opportunity to travel our great country, visiting family and Lions friends along their journey. Ray, who holds a Bachelors degree in Music Education and a Masters degree in Counseling, enjoys music, cooking, golf, travel, and gardening.
