As a young girl she
loved playing ball, she
was better than most boys
playing Little League but
at the time girls weren’t
allowed to play. She in-
stilled that love in her
daughter and grandchil-
dren. Her most treasured
time was spending it with
her five grandchildren
Jaydon, Talynn, Makalyn,
Aady, and Emberly. She
was so proud of them. If
a stranger would give her
a few minutes she would
pull out her phone and
show them pictures and
brag about them. She
loved them dearly.
She is preceded in death
by her parents John and
Doris Hencke and brother
John (Jackie) Hencke.
She is survived by her
daughter Magon and hus-
band Shane Doby, grand-
children Jaydon Koche-
var, Talynn Kochevar,
Makalyn Kochevar, Aady
Doby, and Emberly Doby,
her sister Patricia and
husband Howard Brock-
inton, brother James and
wife Robin Hencke, sis-
ter-in-law Irene Hencke,

“This is a great partner-
ship,” Baytown City Coun-
cilman Bob Hoskins said.
“For the Angel Brothers
and for Houston Race-
way Park to land this is a
great opportunity for the
Baytown community and
the raceway. And Pennzoil
has a great racing team.”
Each year, Houston
Raceway Park powered by
Pennzoil draws hundreds
of thousands of visitors to
the city through the NHRA
Spring Nationals and hun-
dreds of race days a year,
which the city benefits
from through its hotel oc-
cupancy tax.
“All the races they have
out here bring in all kinds
of revenue from all over
the United States into this
community, so it’s great
to have Houston Raceway
Park here,” Hoskins said.
“It’s been a great asset for

They had three children
Pierce, Debbie, and David
and were blessed with six
wonderful grandchildren.
Ray and Sarah were
very active in the Bay town
community. They were
faithful members of St.
Mark’s Methodist Church.
Both were members of the
local American Field Ser-
vice (AFS) chapter. Ray
was president of the Bay
Area Heritage Society
from 1986-88.
He served on the Goose
Creek Consolidated Inde-
pendent School District
board from 1972-79 and
1984-85. He was board
president during a portion
of his service on the GC-
CISD board. He also was
elected to the Baytown
City Council serving as
councilman for District 2
from May 1989 to May
1993 (two tenns).
Ray and Sarah were
members of the Goose
Creek Country Club
where they enjoyed many
of the club’s social activ-
ities and celebrated and
shared their 50th wedding
anniversary in 1995 with a
large gathering of friends
and family.
One of Ray’s favorite
pastimes was fishing and
fly fishing in particular.
In the 1950s and 60s the
family would make reg-
ular trips to Creede, Col-
orado where he’d spend
hours fishing for trout
along the headwaters of
the Rio Grande River.
Ray and Sarah loved to
travel and spent their re-
tirement years traveling to
various parts of Europe in-
cluding visits with Pierce
and his family, who spent
many years during this
period in government ser-
vice in Gennany, Austria,
and Spain.
They also enjoyed trav-
eling to Austin, Texas, and
San Diego to visit David
and Debbie. In 1999, they
moved to San Diego to
spend their golden years
in the beautiful Southern
California city.
In 2011 Ray and Sar-
ah endowed a gift to his
beloved Texas Tech Uni-
versity and the school’s
College of Engineering
(Swofford ExxonMobil
Engineering Fellowship
Endowment).

Ray loved life. He loved
his wife and family, he
loved Texas, and he loved
his country. He and Sarah
were married 73 years.
What better way to ex-
press Ray’s outlook and
love of life than to recall
the words of one of Ray’s
contemporaries, President
George H. W. Bush (12
June 1924 - 30 Novem-
ber 2018). They may have
come from very differ-
ent socioeconomic back-
grounds, but their values
and principles were sim-
ilar and typical for “the
greatest generation.” Both
served in the Navy, both
loved the Lone Star State,
both worked in the oil in-
dustry, both loved their
families and served their
community and country.
Here then are the words
of President Bush from
his inauguration speech of
1989.
My friends, we are not
the sum of our posses-
sions. They are not the
measure of our lives. In
our hearts we know what
matters. We cannot hope
only to leave our children
a bigger car, a bigger bank
account. We must hope
to give them a sense of
what it means to be a loy-
al friend; a loving parent;
a citizen who leaves his
home, his neighborhood,
and town better than he
found it. And what do we
want the men and women
who work with us to say
when we’re no longer
there? That we were more
driven to succeed than
anyone around us? Or that
we stopped to ask if a sick
child had gotten better and
stayed a moment there to
trade a word of friend-
ship?

Raymond Pierce Swof-
ford, Jr. passed away on
Wednesday, January 10,
2019, at his home in San
Diego, California. He was
93 years old.
Ray (affectionately
known as Razor) was born
on July 31, 1925, in Ly-
ford, Texas, to Raymond
and Minnie Ray Swofford.
He moved with his par-
ents to West Texas and
attended Lubbock High
School and graduated
from Hale Center High
School in 1942. Ray at-
tended Texas Technolog-
ical College in Lubbock,
Texas, where he received
his B.S. in Civil Engineer-
ing in 1947.
Prior to that while in
high school at Hale Cen-
ter, he met the love of his
life, Sarah Scroggins, who
also attended and graduat-
ed from Texas Tech.
They were married in
1945 at Camp Endicott,
Rhode Island, where Ray
received his Navy com-
mission after graduating
from Midshipman school.
After receiving his com-
mission, Ray was sent to
the Pacific Theater, arriv-
ing at Okinawa not long
after V-J Day (August 19,
1945). He was assigned to
the 82nd Navy Construc-
tion Battalion (aka the
Seabees). Early in 1946
he was sent to CBMU
619, Guam and later to the
121st NCB, Saipan. He
completed 20 years in the
Navy Reserve and retired
as Lieutenant Command-
er.
Ray and Sarah moved to
Baytown, Texas, in 1947,
where he worked as a civil
engineer for Humble Oil
and Refining Company,
later Exxon, and subse-
quently as a district sales
supervisor.
He retired from Exxon
in 1981 with 34 years of
service. Later he worked
for the City of Baytown
as assistant city engineer
from 1983 to 1989.
On Monday, Trump also
defended his decision to
fire FBI Director James
Comey, a move that has
drawn Mueller’s scruti-
ny. Trump called the Rus-
sia probe “a whole big fat
hoax.”
Special counsel Robert
Mueller is looking into
Russian election interfer-
ence and whether Trump’s
campaign coordinated
with the Russians. He also
is investigating possible
obstruction of justice by
Trump.
