Revisions
Robert H. Wray served with honor, even filling - in on another crew after he'd flown enough missions to go home. He came home and moved to Goshen, IN with his wife Mary and the two had four children together. He retired from Western Rubber. Before his death in 2013, he enjoyed playing with his grandchildren and tending his garden.
