His family was always number one to him. Ray supported his grandchildren and would love to watch them play their sports. He had a big heart and enjoyed helping everyone. Over the years he provided tuition and books for college for many nieces and nephews and employed many different family members at Stover Transportation Inc.
He loved his Ohio State Buckeyes. He hosted many Ohio State spring games with the family and enjoyed many Saturdays at the Horseshoe watching games accompanied by many family members.
When Ray walked into a room you could feel his energy and you knew he was there.
He will be dearly missed by so many. Rest in Peace Ray.
