Ray was born and raised a farmer,as was Patricia. They spent a couple of years completing his degree in Agriculture at the University of Missouri in Columbia and Patricia worked as a secretary whie there. Upon completing his degree they moved back to Shelby County and purchased a trailer to live in while working with his father on the home farm.
A bit later, his Uncle Cristy Griffith, sold him his farm on the Fabius River bottom. They moved there and lived for several years but it was a high risk farm as many river bottom farms are and they purchased a small upland farm North of Novelty, eventually selling the farm on the river. They still have an interest in farming but have reduced their involvement and Ray is now a Loan Officer at the bank in Edina and they have a small insurance business. Patricia works with a CPA more than she would like at times since their children have left the nest.
