On Saturday, December 22, 2007, Ray Butler's friends and family gathered at Rand Hall in Covenant Presbyterian Church, in Carrollton, Texas, to pay tribute to him and to celebrate his 80th birthday (which was actually the day before, December 21). All three of Ray's sons were there, along with a grandson, two nephews, a niece, and a daughter-in-law, as well as people with whom he once worked at Wyeth Laboratories, went to church with, or was associated with in Scouting. One partygoer lived in the same East Dallas neighborhood in which Ray grew up and remembered him as a kid.

Ray's son Steve presented a PowerPoint slideshow of Ray's life (so far) and several people stood up afterwards to tell stories about Ray and why they think so highly of him. Afterward, the partygoers posed for a group portrait and then sang "Happy Birthday" to Ray, after which he blew out the candles and everybody enjoyed cake and other refreshments.
