Raymond was born on July 5, 1945, on the West Side of San Antonio, Texas, to Mateo and Trinidad Gallardo. He was the firstborn of twelve siblings and a proud graduate of Lanier High School.
Ray proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War and later served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. He also worked for many years at Kelly Air Force Base before retiring as a civil servant.
