Ray is just a normal dude working a normal job and teaching guitar on the side, but the weird thing is he totally decorates like an old lady, and is a collector of elephants. But he's not embarrassed about this AT ALL, he's totally proud of it, and he likes to show people when they come visit and tell the stories of where he got them all. So naturally, when normal dude Bob falls in love with him, Bob totally brings him an elephant the day they get engaged. So Ray doesn't get an engagement RING, he gets a totally badass engagement elephant.

He's the one that also gave Patrick the most grief when Patrick finally succumbed to Pete's constant nagging to move into the bigger house; he was unforgivably rude to Patrick, he yelled at his father, terrible, terrible things that sent Pete into red-tinged rages and resulted in slamming doors and the younger children crying quietly in corners until a parent or Christine came to comfort them.

His dad says, "Stay out of trouble," when gates open at every venue. "Seriously, Lib."

Patrick is a widower and young father. Pete is an advertising exec with a failing relationship. When Patrick's daughter makes a call to a radio shrink, lives intersect and shenanigans ensue.
