The son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Daring, Ray was born in Wilkes-Barre and attended Hanover High School. Immed- iately after leaving school, he became a member of the U.S. Navy and served for four years on the destroyer, USS Sigourni, in the Pacific. After separation from the ser- vice in 1946, he came to Dallas to live with parents and sisters and brother who had moved to the Back Mountain in 1945.
