Ray graduated from Needham Broughton High School in Raleigh, N.C., and served three years in the Navy before entering Princeton. He majored in politics, joined Cannon Club, and worked on The Daily Princetonian business board. He roomed with Chet Bell and Flip Miller.

Ray’s career centered on the production side of magazine publishing. He spent 20 years at Newsweek, where he was director of production for international editions.

With his wife, Anne, he enjoyed retirement at Fearrington Village in Chapel Hill, N.C., reporting in The Book of Our History that he had played on 40 golf courses nearby. They moved on to Plantation Village, N.C., near Wrightsville Beach, where they had spent summers.

Ray died May 2, 2012, leaving his children, Lauren, Linda, and Steve. To them and to Anne, the class sends sympathy.
