Spouse

Ray had a long relationship with the architect Robert Mangurian (1941-2023). Mangurian's obituary in the Los Angeles Times.com noted of the beginnings of their partnership: "In 1985, he and Ray got to know each other when the two began working together on the model for artist James Turrell’s Roden Crater project, a decadeslong effort to turn an extinct Arizona volcano into an observatory. 'Turrell,' says Ray, 'claims to be our matchmaker.'" (See Carolina A. Miranda, Los Angeles Times.com, "Architect Robert Mangurian dies — a key member of SCI-Arc’s founding generation," published 07/12/2023, accessed 10/09/2024.)
