He dedicated his time to the Hilltop School as a member of the school board and the boys and girls basketball coach as well as a referee at Hilltop Elementary School. Basketball was one of Ray's favorite hobbies. He loved playing and always had a basketball goal in his barn so he could shoot hoops in his limited downtime. He traveled across the state as a referee for high school boys basketball games. His other community service roles included president of the USD 230 Spring Hill school board and a member of the Johnson County Fair Board, VFW, and the Farm Service Agency. He was on the Ski Bees, a performance ski team with the Olathe Marine Club. Ray and Ruth were also active members of the Olathe Trail Riders where they served in numerous committees and leadership positions.
