Bio
A resident of Lynchburg since 1957, he was a member of the First United Methodist Church, who served as Choir Director and Sunday School teacher for over forty years. He was actively involved in the community, serving on countless boards and committees. He served in WWII as a technical sergeant in the 388th Bomb Group. He had a long and successful career in sales with J. R. Watkins, Inc. and McNess-Furst. Ray was known for his singing. Throughout the South, he sang with dozens of gospel quartets. He formed the "Gospel Echoes" with his late father Carl Benderman and late sister Shirley Binkley, and they sang live on Columbia's WKRM Sunday morning gospel program during the 1950's. Ray never met a stranger and always had a twinkle in his eye. He loved people and put others before himself. He was lovingly devoted to his faith, family and friends. He was a die hard Tennessee Vols and Atlanta Braves fan. Burial Polk Memorial Garden, Febuary 25, 2017. Jennings-Moore-Cortner Funeral Home
