mason and they traveled where the work was. As a man, Dee Ray also

beautiful work. He was the last of 4 generations of brick masons.

take him. There were too many places to mention. He enjoyed carpentry,
he built homes and did many remodels. He also loved to fish and spent
many days and nights at the lake doing just that.

forever missed.
