Ray then went on to retire from GM and the Fisher Body Plant, as a die maker, in 1981. He then relocated to Lake City. Ray was a devoted family man and avid sportsman. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was also in an association known as MCFISH (Missaukee County Fisherman In Self Help) where he raised walleye. Ray was a thoughtful, kind, and loving friend, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, who will be deeply missed.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, and the mother to Steve and Rob, Betty Perkins; and a brother, Robert "Bob" Perkins.
