Raymond Howard Summers recently passed at at the age of 88. Ray was born in Los
Angeles to Michael and Pearl Summers on September 4, 1932. He was raised in Los
Angeles and graduated United States Coast Guard. He went on to have a successful
and fulfilling career as a costume designer until he retired at the age of 62.
He was passionate about his work and participated in countless films and worked
with many well-known directors. Ray married Jean Huntington in 1984 at The
Hotel Twin Dolphin in Baja California, Mexico in what he liked to say was,
"the best wedding I have ever attended". Ray (and Jean!) was famous
for his world-wide travels - from Africa to Europe to Asia and beyond. Ray
finally took off his traveling cap 13 years ago and proceeded to live a life of
leisure on Las Flores beach until his death on January 25, 2021. Ray is
survived by his loving wife, Jean, and many friends who became his extended
family. He is now reunited with his mother and father, numerous friends, and
his beloved dogs, Bogie and Allie, all of whom he loved dearly. Ray was a kind,
gentle, and good-hearted man and he will be dearly missed by all. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the Agoura Animal Shelter at 818.991.2424.
