Came to Bethpage in l941 in hopes of opening a liquor store, but he was unable to get a license. Instead he opened the Bethpage Hardware Store at 262 Broadway.
He was very active in The Bethpage Police Boys Club along with Jim Looney, Bill Roden and Ed Thorn. Ray was president of the Bethpage Club and treasurer of the Nassau County Organization. He was also responsible for the purchase and moving of the army barrack to Stewart Ave. site where in 2001 it still serves as the PAL Hall (we now have included girls into the organization). The Hall is named the Lee Gendron Hall.
