Deceased Classmates & Guests

Ray Davis

Thanks to classmate Larry Gull and his wite, Andy (Seitz), we have an obituary for Ray.
Interestingly, Ray is listed as Ray Davis in our year book.  And his father and mother are both buried under the name of Davis and his mother's obituary says she married Earl Davis.  Whoever wrote the obituary for the newspaper made a mistake making researching for Ray's obituary difficult, as his obituary gives his name as Raymond Davies.  The following is from the obituary.

I remember Ray pretty well. And the explanation of his name brought back a memory from homeriom roll call. 
it was first day after summer and our male leader pronoun this name Davies. 
ray corrected him as it was Davis. 
Do I need to? Could it be the miss spelling had started before that time. I can't remember if it was sophomore or Jounior year.
