Amarillo Globe-News, April 27, 2006 ============================================================================ Ray Snodgrass PERRYTON - Ray Snodgrass died Monday, April 24, 2006, in Amarillo. Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday in Community Worship Center in Perryton with Mike Waterbury officiating. Burial will be in Hartville Cemetery in Hardesty, Okla., by Boxwell Brothers Funeral Home of Perryton. He will be remembered for his wit, ingenuity, integrity, work ethic and loyalty to family and friends. Ray was born on a Nov. 16 in Doyle, Tenn., to Noah and Verna Snodgrass. He was orphaned at a young age and was raised by his mother's brother and his wife, Sylvester and Lula Roach, in Hollis, Okla. He married Ocie Lue Collinsworth on Oct. 16, 1942. During World War II, he went into the Navy where he was trained to be an instructor for crash boat mechanics, which included the then-new technology for refrigeration and air conditioning. He used that understanding of the practical side of thermodynamics the rest of his life. Later he served in the Pacific on a five-man crash boat. Ray worked much of his earlier years as a master mechanic. Then in 1954 he bought the Studebaker dealership in Dumas and named it Snodgrass Motor Co. He won many sales awards. He enjoyed racing a favorite 1955 Studebaker Commander Coupe named "Davy Crockett" at tracks in Amarillo, Pampa and Hobbs, N.M., where he won many trophies. He also sold Massey Harris farm equipment and custom cut wheat from Texas to Canada in the summers. He always had his crews catching the combines "on the go" to load his trucks that included Studebaker semis. In 1963, Ray moved to Perryton where he pursued his love of farming. He partnered with Tip Collinsworth to create Collinsworth Irrigation Systems and installed the first irrigation engines for many local farmers by adapting truck engines to run off natural gas. Among many inventions, he invented the Raysco Energizer, which adapted pickup alternators to run standard electric tools. He began using mobile phones in the 1960s when they were first available. In the early 1970s, he modified a surplus Army tank engine and automatic transmission and installed it in a White truck. It took truck manufacturers 20 more years before they began offering automatic transmissions as an option. Always a progressive and innovative farmer, he often made enhancements to new farm equipment before he ever pulled it into the field. Many factories sent representatives to study his changes so they could improve their machinery. He was also one of the first in the area to adopt modern sprinkler systems. In 1977, he won the top DEKALB award for the highest milo yield in the nation. He was featured in a national magazine and won a trip to Hawaii. Last year, Ray raised his first crop of cotton, taking advantage of the new hybrids for this area. His second crop of cotton is well under way, and his sons will carry out the improvements he outlined for Raysco Farms. He was preceded in death by his brother, Horace; a grandson, Westley Garrett Dawson; and a granddaughter, Lauren Jennifer Snodgrass. Survivors include his wife of 64 years, Ocie Lue; a daughter, Patsy Rae Dawson and husband Sam of Amarillo; four sons, Tom Snodgrass and wife Charlene of Dallas, Lary Snodgrass and wife Jennifer of Arlington, Neil Snodgrass and wife Jenny of North Richland Hills and Ted Snodgrass of Dallas; nine grandchildren, Scott Snodgrass and wife Itonia of Garland, Amanda Dawson of State College, Pa., Blake Snodgrass of Dallas, Chris Snodgrass and wife Carrie of Grand Prairie, Dave Snodgrass and wife Ashley of Del Rio, Josh Foster of East Lansing, Mich., Erik Snodgrass and wife Jennifer of San Dimas, Calif., Brian Snodgrass and wife Stephanie of Irving and Dallas Snodgrass of Waco; and five great-grandchildren Christin and Connor Ray Snodgrass of Garland, Cole and Chandler Snodgrass of Grand Prairie and Kaelyn Snodgrass of Del Rio.
