Ray was a 1983 graduate of Southwestern High School, at Hazel Green, and attended Southwest Technical School, at Fennimore.  Ray was the owner and operator of Kuhl's Appliance Repair.  He would always do anything for anybody without hesitation.

He loved bow hunting, the outdoors, camping, and time spent with family and friends.  One of his newest, greatest joys was being a papa.  He cherished his time in Black River Falls and his yearly hunting trip to Michigan.
