Ray Allen Tate was born on Sept. 22, 1945 in Richmond, CA to Nell Tate (90 years old) and the late Voy Ray Tate. He passed away late Tuesday evening, May 6 surrounded by his family in a Vacaville hospital after a six month battle with multiple myeloma cancer at the young age of 68. After graduating from Clayton Valley High School in Concord, CA, Ray joined the US Army and proudly served his country while stationed in Korea. Ray was an avid Oakland A's fan. He adored his beloved Yorkies, Teddy and Lexie, and enjoyed golfing, fishing, and taking motorcycle trips with family and friends.
