Ray, the son of Helmer and Ingeborg Roa Haugland, was born May 7, 1912, in Leland. He grew up in north central Iowa, where he attended school through the eighth grade at the Haugland School near Leland. He, with his family, would later move to North Dakota. Ray was united in marriage to Blanche G. Stene on Oct. 20, 1940, at the Lime Creek Lutheran Church. The couple lived in Lake Mills for a time before moving to Belmond in 1948. Blanche and Ray owned a Radio and Television Repair Shop in Lake Mills, and later in Belmond. A lifetime television repairman, Ray continued to work on antennas into his 80s. The couple "retired" from the television repair business in 1991, and moved into the Belmond Apartments. Ray loved to tinker and fix radios and television sets. Ray has belonged to Trinity Lutheran Church since moving to Belmond. He was confirmed in Norwegian at the Winnebago Lutheran Church near Leland.
