He was a hard-working member of each organization and could be counted on to support any or all activities of those organizations.
As a member of the American Legion, he served several years as the Sergeant-at-Arms and as a member of the Executive Board and participated in myriad projects sponsored by the Legion.
He was very active in SAMS (Scottish American Military Society) Post 7.

Rav was a member of the Coastal Scottish Heritage Society and as such was active in their events including the Annual Scottish Games and Robert Burns Night activities.
He participated in the monthly meetings of the Chatham County Veteran’s Council for years as a member and the Sergeant-at-Arms. He was a member of the Adjutants Staff of the Veteran’s Day Parade, helping with the Parade in the years he was not physically able to participate as a marcher.
The organization that was closest to his heart, however, was the Society of the Forty and Eight. He was very active in the formal initiation and informal initiation of new members. He put his heart and soul into ensuring all participants had a lasting memory of the event. Additionally, he served as Garde de la Porte for many years.
