It was 20 years ago last month that a memorial service was held for Aldo Ray, a former U.S. Navy Frogman who settled in Crockett to raise a family after World War II and served as the town constable until he was discovered by Hollywood.
Ray rang up a steady string of movie and TV credits — including acting alongside Rita Hayworth — and was doing roles right up until the time of his death on March 27, 1991 at age 64.
