As his children were growing up, the Corry’s front door was always open. Friends were treated as family and Ray would always be in “his chair” eagerly waiting for visitors.  There was always a joke told and everyone left with a smile.

Ray is survived by his children Christopher (Tina Green) Corry, Meghan (Michael) Federico and Kevin Corry, sisters Esther Gorrie, Helen Salois, and Kathleen “Kal” Corry, his grandchildren, Tyler, Cayleigh, Emily and Christian, and many nieces and nephews.
